Hi,

I’m struggling with keeping the topics of a category sorted correctly.

I changed category settings to sort topics by “Created” and “Descending”. After saving category settings it displays the topics in the correct order. If I refresh the page it displays the most recently updated topics in the top. I was expecting to keep seeing the topics sorted by creation date.

My discourse version is 2.6.0.beta1 ( [093ee1d80c](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commits/093ee1d80c269afd00ba1341a3e71eb97e4ce7f1)).

Thanks,  
Fábio

This is the second report I have seen about bugs with this @eviltrout so probably worth a look.

Looks like this should fix it:
