Google Scholar Idea

I love Google Scholar, but it would be a lot more useful if results were not ordered by how many times they have been cited, but rather by  how many times per year since publication.  So, a result that has been cited 10 times, but is 10 years post-publication would not rank nearly as high as a result that has been cited 5 times, but is only 2 years post-publication.   In Google Scholar, results are listed by relevance, but if you click the "Cited by" link, then they are listed by citation count.
