I like that categories sorts by recent activity so far, but It would be nicer if I also could pin some of categories on top like you can do with topics. There’s gonna be a lot of categories on my forum, 50 at least (didn’t moved from phpBB yet). Some of them are dead now but we need them anyway so guests could see our early activity. And some of them are very active now and they gonna be on top. But people complaining that with Discourse their category gonna jump from 1st place to 3 or 2 all the time. I agree that it’s a bit inconvenient, so I would like to have ability to pin most active categories so they don’t jump and always stay in alphabetic or custom order.
