I hear you, but it is a very very complex problem and no such customisation exists.
I guess what you are suggesting is some sort of “fast browse” mode where you just drag stuff around and very quickly can scan through titles.
Where it gets tricky is that it is quicksand if we placed it on /latest cause latest is always changing.
However … I could see merit in a slider for certain orderings like:
https://forums.playlostark.com/latest?ascending=true&order=created
At least that way the order is somewhat stable … and if you were last at topic 9783 of 109737, you could quickly scroll to 9783 again and continue your journey when there are 120333 topics.
Nothing like this exists yet though, but it is certainly an interesting idea for extremely high scale communities.
One interesting thing that could help is more liberal use of tagging, that way maybe lists can be a bit more manageable if the tagging structure is rich enough.
