Can the entries on a Wiki+ search page be sorted - by date or PM or??

Question

The question says it all, I think....if the entries can be sorted, how do I do that?? (Specifically working with Unknowns in a certain geographical area, and I need to return to the list again and again...) Hope that makes sense...thank you in advance.

If you are using the Text Search in WikiTree+, there are a few fixed things you can sort by. They are a bit above the Text search label in the panel on the left, under the heading "Sort by:" The options are Creation, Last name, First name, Birth date, Birth location, Death date and Death location.

In case it helps, the search query I use when working on Unknowns is as follows (obviously you will need to change it for whichever area/time period you want to work on):
