When answers have the same number of votes, and the view is set to 'most voted', what is the secondary sort order? It looks like newest first, but I prefer oldest first. |

I prefer it be randomized upon view, since that means the best answer will bubble to the top, and none has an unfair advantage (except the older one slightly, since it is seen by more people overall). However, this will mess with the caching. Why would it mess with caching?

If everytime a new user sees a different order? I guess you could cache the answers (and avoid the DB hit). I was thinking about caching the entire page, but I guess that's overkill.

The items are cached individually, but the actual listing (just the ids) are retrieved every time.

And someone else might prefer newest first :)
