Thanks for the help! Wow, virtual fields are pretty cool.
I ended up trying the old basic Hacker News algorithm with some extra boost for new posts. Not perfect, but looks like it will work to begin with. public $virtualFields = array( 'score' => '(Story.votes / (time_to_sec(timediff(NOW(), Story.created)) / 3600 + 12) ^ 1.8) + (2 / (time_to_sec(timediff(NOW(), Story.created)) / 3600))' ); -- Our newest site for the community: CakePHP Video Tutorials http://tv.cakephp.org Check out the new CakePHP Questions site http://ask.cakephp.org and help others with their CakePHP related questions.
