New products, a couple of configuration questions...

[lat9]

Running 1.38a+security+FEC.

A couple of questions about displaying "new products" on the main page. I've got Config->Index Listing->Show New Products on Main page set to 1.

1) What controls whether a product is "new"?
2) What controls the sort order of new products when displayed on the main page?

1) What controls whether a product is "new"?

Admin > Configuration > Maximum Values > New Product Listing - Limited to ...

Limit the New Product Listing to
0= All Products
1= Current Month
7= 7 Days
14= 14 Days
30= 30 Days
60= 60 Days
90= 90 Days
120= 120 Days
