Hello!

It is me again ;)

Could you please explain how the taxonews blocks are sorted? I thought they should be sorted by the creation date of the nodes, assigned to the terms.

But now I added a new Term with new nodes, and the related taxonews block is shown as second (id="block-taxonews-1"), while the block with the older news is shown as first block(id="block-taxonews-0").

Or is the sorting based on the alphabetical Order of the terms?

The blocks are sorted according to your choice of weight for them on admin/build/block, as is standard Drupal fare.

You should typically not reorder blocks dynamically, because it makes the UI poorer. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principle_of_least_astonishment for a basic explanation.

If you want news items to reorder, you would typically tag them with a single term and display the relevant block. This does not prevent your tagging them otherwise for non-taxonews purposes anyway, since you can use as many vocabularies as you want on a node.

(remember, if this answers your question, please say so and/or mark as fixed)

Ok I see so far ...

From my point it would be nice to have a kind of "Master Block" showing the latest news, so you don't need to aktivate a block manualy.

This comes, because I use taxonews with freetaging ... So I alwas want the latest taxonews blocks to apear in rigth order. So I allways have to take control over displaying the blocks.
