Do you know where the 'orderby uploaded' code is broken? I'm looking
at the source, and I can't find where the error is occuring. The feed
URI looks to be being built correctly, but I lose what's happening
when it gets to the following:
if converter:
return converter(result_body)
which i think actually becomes:
AnyFeedFromString(result_body)
up until the point where the conversion occurs, the URI that is being
built returns the correctly ordered results. i suppose i could work
around the feed conversion, if thats the issue, implementing something
myself to get the info i need from the feed (although its going to be
pretty kludgy).
