In R11 you can easily add a node to your scoreboard for 'Announcements'. But quickly I noticed that unlike the 'View->Announcements' form, it sorts Ascending by default and most would want to see the current announcements, not ones from a year ago.

You can easily correct this by copying %nx_root%/bopcfg/majic/cm.maj to %nx_root%/site/mods/majic

1. Edit the %nx_root%/site/mods/majic/cm.maj

2. Search for: "OBJECT cnote {"

3. Scroll down to: "SORT_BY "posted_date";"

4. Change to: "SORT_BY "posted_date DESC";"

Note: We only added 'DESC' after the posted_date field.

5. Restart services and the default sort order will be descending for the list_cnote.htmpl.
