TY for your reply!
Oh I'm always relaxed, but something like that would be cool. The number of search results is how one would know something new was added, to scroll through the search results to find the new(s) one to look at.
If do-able from administrative end, would be cool/handy for users to be able to save searches & be alerted when something new is added. I think a lot of people would use and love that, for a wild, wide variety of applications.
I don't know about affection for one or the other, but almost all resource sites list plants by botanical epithet first.
