How do you set your browser history up so that it displays most recently visited sites to oldest?

Yesterday I think I hit the wrong keyboard combo: since then my browser history isn't displaying in correct chronological order. When I pick, say today for example, the listings are completely out of order. I want my history to display the most recently visited site to the oldest. Tried sorting by date/time, but even listings I visited last week are showing up for today! Visit date and times seem to be way off! How do a fix this or reset to the defaults that I was happy with?

You can view browsing history in the Side Bar or in the Library List, the further you back in history the more the items are summarized.

In the sidebar you choice choices of grouping and sorting are in the "View" button next to the search. I think the default is "by Date and Site:", I generally have mine by "by Last visited".
