Oops, looks like I forgot to do:

(setq anything-filtered-candidate-transformers
   '((file . anything-adaptive-sort)))

after loading anything-adaptive.el. I guess I thought I had since the
history was showing up. With some limited testing, anything now seems
to be returning things according to the history values. However, if
anything-filtered-candidate-transformers is nil, there shouldn't be
any history written. If this code is added to anything-config.el,
Tassilo will probably want to modify it so that the history is only
written when the user has activated the filtered candidate transformer
functionality.
