Although it might be possible to modify SassaNews to change the sort order, the problem is that Google changes the search results format faster than we can keep up with modifying it. That's why your page usually shows only 1 result, and, as often as not, it is simply a link to Google News. We've been busy with other open source applications, as well as with our clients, and unfortunately able to devote any time to this. Hopefully, Google will begin to provide a syndicated service (even with links to Google or ads inside the headlines would be better than nothing) that allows specific search. At this point, the approach has been to make it as difficult as possible for others do use Google News as Google News uses the source sites for the headlines. Even more unfortunate is that we haven't been able to locate a similar function on other news search engines either...
If you still want to try sorting by relevance, look on line 95:
| Code: | $url = "http://news.google.com/news?hl=en&num=$num&scoring=d&q=".urlencode($q);
