This new search/sort category should list all active petitions chronologically, starting with the oldest, and by descending order of popularity within each date.
Many of us lead hectic lives and no matter how conscientious we might be about our civic duties, we simply won't be able to visit this new White House petition site on a frequent basis or spend much time when we do. As a result, we need a convenient means of focusing on those petitions approaching their mandatory 30-day termination - especially the ones closest to reaching the signature threshold for generating an official response.
