Subject: bug#37772: 26.3; Doc of recentf, particularly `recentf-list'
Date: Tue, 15 Oct 2019 15:45:48 -0700 (PDT)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <d5a7088f-909d-42bc-9dc1-788a7162e77f@default> (raw)

Many users use recentf.  Likewise, libraries.  Nowhere is it said what
order the files are listed in, i.e., the order of the elements of
`recentf-list'.  The answer is apparently that, by default at least, a
file is pushed to the front of the list when it is "opened" or written.

A more exact answer is that `recentf-list' is in reverse chronological
order of calls to `recentf-track-opened-file'.  And by default that
function is added to these hooks: `find-file-hook' and
`write-file-functions'.
