All, In researching whether we needed to file a feature request, we noticed a few messages here from people looking for a simpler way to see the newest retweet first in retweets_of_me, instead of seeing results sorted by the original status' ID. We've put in a feature request for a retweets_of_me flag to return results by the retweet's status ID as well as using the since_id parameter to only look for retweets with an ID above the parameter.
If any of you who're looking for this functionality see this message, convey your interest by starring the feature request: http://code.google.com/p/twitter-api/issues/detail?id=1806 Best, escarp
