Forums should sort topics by latest post

[Fake Name]

Currently, in forums, topics are sorted by the date of first post. When there'll be more topics (and of course more pages of them then), it'll be hard to find the one with new post.

It would be cool to change the way things are ordered somehow. But more important is to avoid clutter and feature bloat, the forum should stay nice and easy

Its not that hard. All you need to do is stuff an order by clause into some SQL query in the forum code for the topic sort order. Wouldn't take me probably longer than half an hour.

the post links are a bit harder, linking to specific page/post can be complicated if the software is an ass.
