Nevermind, i figured it out. For some reason there was a filter on in my vs code that was hiding javascript files. So when I searched for things like Order, Sort, Activity etc…, I wasn’t getting results for the js files (which obviously handle an interactive function like sorting…).
I forked the repo and made changes. Anyone is welcome to use it. It removes the ability to sort by activity, defaults the topic list to sort by title ascending, and defaults the category filters to sort by alpha ascending.
I dont know how to add settings for user customizability, so this will have to suffice until this functionality is brought into the official plugin
