  Hi there. I assume you’re talking of the Links widget? The widget only sorts links according to the link title, rating or ID. Sorting by Link ID will sort them according to the order they were created (not sure if that means most recent first, though): http://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/links-widget/#settings

  Looking at the type of links you have in your blogroll, you might want to consider using a custom menu instead. You can create a custom menu under Appearance ->Menus in the dashboard and add the links to that menu. Then insert that menu in your sidebar using the custom menu widget. The custom menu will give you greater control and flexibility in how those links are displayed. See here for more:
