Sorting by creation date doesn't work

I think I’ve found one possible source of confusion: the category/tag links on the homepage (class=“subcategory”) point to the /latest endpoint of that category. Even though it doesn’t show up on the URL, you can see it in the Network tab:

But if I reload the page, I get the category (id 25 in this case) with the default order (“created descending” in my case)

Is there a way to prevent this behavior?
