Change the sort order fo the hints

Rather than sorting the hints by publishing time, couldn't they be sorted by last comment? That way, the discussions a hint sometimes generate wouldn't die out as quick and more interesting or insightful opinions might be posted.

The problem with that sort order is that the new stuff would never be at the top -- not every hint gets commented. The site doesn't get a huge volume of comments (50 to 100 or so per day), so the easiest way to keep up is by glancing at the "What's New" box, or using the "History" links to see all the activity on any of the last seven days.
