Sorting improvement

I suggest modifying similar-posts.php on line 168 as follows:
$sql .= " ORDER BY score DESC LIMIT $limit";

to

$sql .= " ORDER BY score DESC, post_date DESC LIMIT $limit";

That way all identical matches (for example when you’re just comparing categories) will be sorted by post-date.

I know the plugin already has output sorting but if you have for example 30 posts in the same category and the plugin is told to display only 5 hits, then it will always show the oldest 5.

With this change it will be the newests ones instead which makes much more sense to me.
