  • order=width -- find all posts sorted from highest > lowest width
  • order=filesize_asc -- find all posts sorted from lowest > highest filesize
• order=random_####, eg
  • order=random_8547 -- find all posts sorted randomly using 8547 as a seed

Search items can be combined to search for posts which match both, or you can stick "-" in front of an item to search for things that don't match it.

Metatags can be followed by ":" rather than "=" if you prefer.
I.E: "posted:2014-01-01", "id:>=500" etc.
