I don't understand anything about this reply.

1. If I don't want any of my searches to ever sort incorrectly 
(oldest first), why would it be buffer local?

2. Regardless, why did this stop working? Was it announced? What 
is the correct way to configure this?

It is frustrating to have a setup that worked for years suddenly
stop. And this isn't the only one in this upgrade, just the first one
I'm asking about.
