Displaying newest items first when searching products

[catchop]

I'm using 1.6.

I want newly added items to show up first when buyers search products on my website.

I changed the configuration through

Preferences - Products - Pagination - Product add date

but this doesn't seem to work for my website.

Is there anything else I need to do?

Thank you.

Try making following changes.

In the modules/blocksearch/blocksearch.tpl file (For 1.6 only)
 

Replace

<input type="hidden" name="orderby" value="position" />

with

<input type="hidden" name="orderby" value="date_add" />
