- choose "newest" instead of "votes" ordering to view answersDavid Schmitt– David Schmitt2008-09-11 10:01:01 +00:00Commented Sep 11, 2008 at 10:01
- 1But it's not the default, nor - necessarily - the 'best' way of viewing answers. The types of answers referred to will still suffer bias.Bobby Jack– Bobby Jack2008-09-11 10:09:39 +00:00Commented Sep 11, 2008 at 10:09
- With "votes" ordering the secondary sort is newest first; so newer questions appear above questions with the same number of votes.Sam Hasler– Sam Hasler2008-09-11 11:20:25 +00:00Commented Sep 11, 2008 at 11:20
- @ Sam - is the secondary sort really the newest? Or can you set it up to be?Richard Corden– Richard Corden2008-09-19 13:25:27 +00:00Commented Sep 19, 2008 at 13:25
- Or have one answer highlighted below the accepted answer, chosen at random from the low-voted answers to get it more up or down votes.endolith– endolith2017-10-25 14:04:56 +00:00Commented Oct 25, 2017 at 14:04

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. stack-overflow), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
