Sort by date avail - is it working?

Are you talking about the date filter - current date (on the right side of the sort selection screen)? I am already using that.

But I don't just want the units currently available. I want the currently available units in order of the date they became available. That way I can check to see what the newest units are, so that I can quickly see if there's anything to upgrade to.

To do this, I'm using the sort type - date avail (on the left side of the sort selection screen). But it looks like it's either broken or it's doing some other kind of sort. I'm asking what sort it's supposed to be doing, and if it's different from what I'm expecting... why? (I.e. what utility is there in what it's doing)
