   Hi:
   WordPress search results are based on date. My website (a business site) has several static pages that discuss services AND we have a blog (which is not the homepage). Site uses a custom theme that I built, and the search.php comes from the old Kubrick theme.

   When you do a search, the "page" results always appear last and the blog post results appear first (since they are "fresher"). I would like to reverse that. The blog posts are lighter in nature -- the page info. is almost always more "relevant" than the blog posts.

   Here's my current code:

   <?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
   <div class="center">
   <div class="padding-bottom">
   <h1><?php _e('Our Search Results', 'kubrick'); ?></h1>
   </div>
   </div>
   
   <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
   
   <div <?php post_class(); ?>>
   <h3 id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>"><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="<?php printf(__('Permanent Link to %s', 'kubrick'), the_title_attribute('echo=0')); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h3><?php the_excerpt(); ?>
   </div>
   
   <?php endwhile; ?>
   
   <?php else : ?>
   
   <h2 class="center"><?php _e('No luck. Try again?', 'kubrick'); ?></h2>
   <?php get_search_form(); ?>
   
   <?php endif; ?>

   Could I add something in there that would filter the results and put pages first?

   ThankS!
