I just updated the default sort for the #Contribute > Feature category from “Votes” to “Default” (which is Activity).

I was finding it disorienting to navigate to the category and see things ordered by votes.

Topics still sort by votes when you visit the Votes tab, so folks looking for that view should still be able to find it easily.

Thank you. I mentioned a similar confusion here some time ago: [It’s unclear what determines topic order in category ‘Latest’ view](https://meta.discourse.org/t/it-s-unclear-what-determines-topic-order-in-category-latest-view/395327)

Oh, I missed that earlier discussion. Thanks for pointing it out.

@awesomerobot FYI in case you have any thoughts on this given the earlier conversation.
