you can't set this by parameter, you need to manually modify the MySQL query that retrieves this data. it's very easy.
on file /models/artist.php line 214 approx you see this:

' ORDER BY year,month ';

you need to replace it with:

' ORDER BY year DESC,month DESC ';

That did the trick! thanks

Germi,

I had to redo this but in your newer version i now get ' ORDER BY year DESC,month DESC LIMIT 8'; (the edited way)...default is ' ORDER BY year,month LIMIT 8';

this will show 8 albums right? what if i have more? How can i get a 'page 1/2' link option? I dont want to list too many albums, a page navigation would be good to have

Or can i do this a different way now?

hello! yes this will get 8 albums

but navigation is NOT possible on modules! you are talking about modules, right..?
if you're talking about the normal page (search page) then there will be no problem, the pagination will appear of course!

ok, just be sure... when a user has 200 tapes all 200 will show on the artist page??..cause thats what i mean... i'd love to see a pagination then... 30 per page or something cause 200 is a lot..lol

no, if you mean albums on artist page: no, no pagination because it is divided by FORMATS and therefore a pagination is not possible...
