Torznab API result sort order about bitmagnet HOT 2 OPEN

Those extra channel elements appear to be part of the RSS spec, rather than the Torznab or Newznab specs:
https://cyber.harvard.edu/rss/rss.html#optionalChannelElements

channel / pubdate:

The publication date for the content in the channel. For example, the New York Times publishes on a daily basis, the publication date flips once every 24 hours. That's when the pubDate of the channel changes. All date-times in RSS conform to the Date and Time Specification of RFC 822, with the exception that the year may be expressed with two characters or four characters (four preferred).

channel / lastBuildDate:

lastBuildDate The last time the content of the channel changed.

It doesn't look like either is being set properly though.

Regarding the torznab results order, it does appear to be using the latest found torrents internally. You can turn off the DHT crawler and the results in the web UI and the Torznab query should then eventually match once it's finished processing what it has, as long as nothing new is being added.
