I know this is not the time for feature requests but this is a very simple patch to fix a common annoyance of mine. By default, it sorts the referrers by date first instead of hits.

I find this view of the data far more useful to determine which new sites are linking to me and which recent material is of interest. How many hits another site generates is not as useful. That data is usually flat (spread out over many different sites) and it doesn't change much.

The patch will save me two page loads (to resort the the data the way I want) every time a visit the page.

You'll have to change drupal_set_title(t('Top referrers in the past %interval' .. as well.

Well, all pages in the stats module evolve around "Top something", and referrers are not different. This still applies because people don't touch the stats code. But even after applying this patch, the menu item and description would still say 'top referrers'.
