Admins can set “[Hot](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discover-popular-conversations-in-your-community-with-hot-topic-sorting/296747/1)” as the default sorting for the Main page but this option is not available for category lists. There, only Latest and Top are available. To be consistent, the possibility to set “Hot” topic sorting by default should be available as well.
