Subject: [PATCH] Sort CheapShark deals by recency instead of deal rating

The bot polls periodically for new deals, but sorting by "Deal Rating"
meant it always returned the same top-rated deals and would never
discover new listings that aren't in the top 10 by rating. Sorting by
"recent" ensures newly added or updated deals are seen on each poll.
