Default Sort by "Date Added" in the Sort by bar...

Hi Guys,

I am really wanting to have a sort by "Date Added" link in my sort bar and I'm wanting it to be the default when a customer visits that category/page. I'd like all the newest products withing any category/page to be listed first. Older products will be seen listed below the newer ones. I know there is a mod out there for 4.3.x but it creates a drop down menu and I think it's ugly. I don't like it. I had a WONDERFUL (and free) sort by date feature in my old version of x-cart pro - 4.1.9, but it's not being updated to work with 4.3.x (I have 4.3.1 pro)

I know there are some highly talented folks that hang out here and I'm hopeful you'll step up and help me out. I'm sure I'm not the only one who would love this! Following is a screen shot of where I'd like it to be, obviously in the sort bar, and I do want it to say "Date Added" if possible, and be the default setting. Hopefully this is an easy task. I never know with x-cart. Sheesh! (:

In fact, if it's easier to modify the 'Default' word to be "Date Added" and modify the right template(s) so it sorts by date added to the store, that would be great too! Unless I'm missing some other reason why 'default' is even there, and why isn't sorting by "Date Added" a part of x-cart already?? hmmm.

I appreciate your time so very much!
