We made an explicit choice in the design of this feature to have a 1-for-1 relationships between the things displayed and the sort options, knowing that we could support any additional sort options via the advanced search page. We understood that some options previously supported would be dropped from the top-level simple search page, and we discussed this one in particular. The thinking was that most people don't know "newest" is tracked by bugtask rather than bug age, that most people expect newest to be based on the bug created date, and that a bug age sort would match most people's use case and expectations.
I will mark this bug won't fix since it's not something we intend to change, but I do understand this is inconvenient for those who need sort on bugtask age and not bug. I'm sorry for that inconvenience, but it is at least still possible from the advanced search page.
Abel is doing some work to fix the bugs around coming to a search results page from an advanced search, but I'd like for him to open a new bug for that work, if it's not already covered by another bug, rather than trying to repurpose this bug.
