Call me stupid - how do I sort topics by created date or by title?

AI-generated summary

The discussion revolves around sorting topics by creation date or title in Discourse. nordize initially asks how to do this, and anon61128213 suggests clicking on “Latest” to sort by creation date, but this is later found to be incorrect.

nordize confirms that “Latest” does not sort by creation date, and anon61128213 provides incorrect URLs to sort by creation date. However, a correct solution is found: using the URL parameter latest?order=created.

As for sorting by title, SidV states that it is not currently possible and links to relevant feature requests on meta.discourse.org. leopedrini and nordize express interest in this feature. RGJ confirms that the latest?order=created solution works for sorting by creation date.

What the subj says. I see only sort by replies, views or activity (last reply/edit).

Above that click on “Latest” to see them ordered by creation date. I don’t know of a way to sort them by title.

I can confirm that (at least in my case) clicking on Latest does not order them by creation date (it looks the same as ordered by activity). I’m using 1.9.4 stable.

Sorry, duh, you’re right.

PS: You can use the urls:
..com/latest?ascending=true&order=creation
…com/latest?ascending=false&order=creation
to order by creation date.
sorry, no that’s not right either. :frowning:

PPS:

Thanks, good find.

Can the theme be edited from the GUI to change the url of “Latest” or “Activity”?

If any dev is reading this: why not replace “Activity” with “Created” given the “Latest” button is a duplicate of “Activity”?

Sorry for necro, but is there now a way to sort by title? Anyone?

Not possible right now, @nordize

Check this:

Yes.
I would like the same thing.

But just typing
latest?order=created
Don’t work.

Anyone have a solution to: sort topics by created date?

That works for me…
