See this post:

Basically, looking to sort group members by last seen descending (most recent on top).

This feels like it might be a very quick fix. Is it possible to get working?

Thanks!

Yes thanks for mentioning it, I’ve made an update here:

[https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/38219](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/38219)

So next time you update Discourse, this should work to show the list in descending order

```plaintext
/g/trust_level_0?order=last_seen_at&asc=false

```

Is it possible to show that link in the address bar too? So when you use the table heading to toggle the order, the URL updates?

On /latest, for example, this already works.
