Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Kind of! There is no option within the Related Articles module to select how to display the articles, wether this is sorted by date ascending / descending, featured, article order etc.
Currently the module displays the selected number of articles in ascending date order, which on my clients site is displaying articles dated back in 2011.
Describe the solution you'd like
An option within the module config to select how the related articles are sorted and displayed.

It is not a good idea to do changes in core files ;-)
What you can do is create an override for the module and add
usort($list, function($a, $b) {
return strtotime($b->created) - strtotime($a->created);
});
after line 18, that will display the newest article first.
The new (not ready yet) combined content module will support this functionality

As Brain said we are planning to work on the article modules for Joomla6 and this will include something you need. Because of the limited resources we have I don't want to spend time on the current modules. So I am closing this. Would be great when you check the new version of the article module when done and test.
So found a 'hack' to the RelatedItemsHelper.php file by adding:
->order('a.id DESC');
after line 116.
However this will be over written on any Joomla update I suspect.
