Change default sort for dashboard tasks

And now here I am still stuck, haha. But at least I might have learned something regarding the whole plugin writing system / logic.

I came up with a new question, which I just posted in another thread, where it might fit quite well, I guess:

So I wonder if this might be the right way: to override the DashboardPagination.php with a plugin … if it is possible at all. I am still trying out in the meantime.

Yet I am happy for any new replies and help here. Thanks, people! (=
