Solved: Sorting forums

[RIHappyDiver]

IIRC you were able to sort a forum in the old format. This could be by most recent post, or by the start date of a thread. Has this gone away, or am I not finding it? And, if it has gone away, is it possible to bring it back. With so many threads being resurected it is becoming difficult to find the most timely information without wading through.
It's truely not a big deal if it can't be done, but it would be a nicety.

Thanks,
Erik

Yes! Thank you for pointing that out. I quickly looked at the filter, obviously too quickly, and didn't see this. I seem to remember you could just click at the top of the column to choose how you wanted, but this will work great.
Thanks Akimbo.

Yes! Thank you for pointing that out.

Glad it helped. I would be more obvious if First Message read Thread Date. It could probably be changed if it would be more helpful.

I don’t know that it is necessary to change it. It would appear that I am the only one who either wants to do it, or couldn’t figure out how, lol. Thanks, though.
