Sadly this is quite a major change to both core and the plugin.

Tough we use TopicQuery to get the lists of topics, we handle all ordering outside of TopicQuery in:

> <https://github.com/discourse/discourse-docs/blob/main/lib/docs/query.rb#L22>

To complete this we would probably need to move it so “core” handles ordering here instead of the plugin doing its own thing. It is a very complex change.

On the upside we can potentially remove a bunch of code from the plugin.

Sorry but I got to put this bug on the backburner for now.
