Cool, what shall we call the set of instructions that tell the computer to sort the posts into simple chronological order?
“algorithm” is typically used to refer to a recommendation algorithm. Sort by date may technically be an algorithm, but you’re not making yourself look smarter, you’re looking like a pedant.
We’re talking about a legal ruling here. The law does not normally use that sort of vague language.
