Hi Ryan,
From what I understand about order and rank, cards are assigned a rank when they are created. boards use that rank in a somewhat similar way when the card enters the board. In other words, cards are in order in boards based on when they first appeared on the board not necessarily when they were created. Don't assume that cards are created on boards - they are not - they are created on projects.
Boards function so that you can drag cards up and down to set the priority within a column. If you drag a card INTO a column it will automatically be placed in the order of when the card first appeared on the board in relationship to all other cards in the column. Now all of that is my simple speculation based on my experience and what I have seen. I cannot tell you the technology behind what is really going on.
Can you override the order of the cards based on something else? Yes. For instance, you could indeed order them based on when the card was created in asc or desc order. To do that, you simply update the filter associated with the board to add order by created desc (in your case).
HOWEVER, you use any order by other than RANK, you will NOT be able to drag cards up and down in a column to re-prioritize. You are stuck with the order by create date for EVERY column on the board.
Now, to finally answer your original question - no, I do not believe their is any way to change the default ranking of cards to use the newest first.
I hope that helps a little.
