Because AFAIK Sphinx sorts by dateline even when requested sort is by another column - e.g. for the relevance you'll get results basically as ORDER BY relevance DESC, dateline DESC.

Also, better replace "docinfo = inline" with "docinfo = extern" if you have RAM to spare, according to sphinx.conf.dist. Check the relevant section.
