How do I change the sorting of topics by votes?
This is the only way I’ve found:
Add to the URL `/?order=votes`.
URL = `/latest` opens the latest topics.
The main page that opens with URL = `/` shows the same thing.
URLs = `/?order=votes` or `/latest?order=votes` do the sorting correctly.
I need to know if there is any way to change the starting url from `/` to `/?order=votes`?
Maybe there is some way to redirect the query?

You can change the default order within the category settings under ‘Default Topic List Sort By’ on the Settings. That is per category though.

I know about sorting in categories, it’s set there.
I need to sort the latest topics by the url `/latest` and `/`.
