Sort forum by thread start date

[Reg Braithwaite]

SB, like many forums, sorts threads by last posted date. This keeps long-running threads going forever. I would like an option to sort by the date of the original post, so that old threads drop off the front page no matter how recently they have been updated.

Here's an excellent essay explaining why this could be a very good idea for SB: Building Communities with Software - Joel on Software

Even if you can't sort by start date, just seeing the start date of the thread as an additional column would be a huge help

You can sort on Thread Start Time.

Just select the desired search criteria and click [Show Threads].
