I noticed that last night as I was updating my subscriptions. I didn’t click on it, though, for fear that I may be turned into a newt!

in short: sorts based on your personal reading habits and what Google thinks you’ll find more interesting.
Jason,
I bravely clicked on it and as near as I can tell I didn’t turn into a newt. A noob to this particular feature yes, but not a newt. I just thought it sounded cool.
Peter,
I knew I could count on you to explain all things Google. Calling it ‘sort by magic’ just makes you want to click on it. I may have to try that setting for awhile and see if I like it better. Thanks for the info.
