I’ve run into this a couple of times, not often enough to be of burning importance, but still…

Would it be a big deal to add sort by “Oldest post” and “Oldest topic”? I’m probably not the only one who sometimes wants to be able to say “The earliest topic/post in which this was mentioned is…”

Our content stretches back to the '90s, so narrowing down by calendar is a bit tedious.
