I could only wish it was so easy :-)
I am currently writing my own routines for this sorting-stuff...
Somehow, I'm unable to access the DocTime, DocTitle and such values.
e.g. In Display.cc, I've tried something like this:
printf("%s",array[counter]->getRef()->DocTitle());
It _IS_ a string, according to ../htcommon/DocumentRef.cc ....
Am I missing something here?
printf("%s",array[counter]->getURL()) works fine.. Think I need to write
my own getTime() when I want to sort my results by date...... :-)

I skipped that extra-parameter part. It's ok with me to work with separate
htsearch executeables...
Is there someone out there who can help me out?
