Some dictionaries order senses by age and others by usage (which may be somehow measured or may just be up to the instincts of the editors), so this isn't a useful metric without knowing the standard of the dictionary we are talking about.

Which dictionary do you mean? Do you mean that highly inaccurate one that you get when typing a word into Google.com?
