My search has started searching backwards - oldest to newest, why?

[gingerjackson]

A couple of days ago after i've used Outlook 2007 for nearly 2 years, outlook
has started bringing up search results backwards. Previously it always
searched newest first so if i wrote an email last week and then searched for
the recipient in sent items it would find it in a matter of seconds. Now it
is searching oldest first so i have to wait for it to search through all
emails from nearly 2 years before it brings up the most recent. the view is
still newest on top but because i have thousands of sent messages it takes
about 10 minutes to get there! help, why has this happened?!

Depends on which Find you're using, I believe.
