The visitors counter on my ad seems to have stopped, is it really working?

Yes, it works. The counter does not increase when it sees access from the same computer (in other words the same number of IP). So your counter just increases with "1 visitor", irrespective of how many times you see your ad or click on "Refresh" in your browser. This is a necessary function so it isn't possible to increase one's own counter.

The result list is sorted after updates of ads, so the latest updated ad is shown on top.

Always make sure to keep the information in your ad(s) current so it is always correct and fresh.
