View posts in chronological order?

[TDK]

In the previous forum software, one could view posts in the order in which they were posted. This is convenient for a number of reasons, mostly to ensure threads don't get popped back up to the top after every single comment.

This forum has a "Sort by Topic Start Date" option, which sounds like it should sort topics by the topic start date, but instead does nothing:

The "Sorted by:" selection seems to still be active.

Also:

Are these really useful options? Is anyone interested in browsing posts based on how many views or likes or comments they have? Why not have a sort by post date as an option here?

Hello @TDK,

Thanks for your feedback and suggestion. Sorting by date isn't an out of the box functionality, but if it is a requirement for the ST Community, we will see how to customize it. 

Regarding the "Sort by Topic Start Date" option, I assume that the sorting by filter (most recent / most viewed / most commented / most liked) still prevails, but I will double check and get back to you on that. 

Best,
Amelie

I also prefer "Sort by Topic Start Date"...
