Related topics as default?

[satonotdead]

I wonder if it’s possibe to enable ‘Related (AI)’ and not ‘Suggested’ as default behavior on topic pages.

Hi there!
If you look here on Meta, the default would be Related topics, when unread and new topics are finished.
But if you want Related to be first, no matter what, I would suggest perhaps a setting for users to choose if they want unread/new topics first, or Related topics.

I think the feature request here is:

Allow site admins to swap the two columns around so Related comes first.

Assume this is what you mean @satonotdead

Not sure if we will add a site setting for this, but an extensibility point that makes this easy to do sound very reasonable.

On the Central theme here this already seems to be in place. How is it done?

Hey @distantnative
Welcome to Meta

It’s not only when you use the central theme. I think the order was changed recently

@Moin

It’s not only when you use the central theme

I have Suggested as the first one, when I have unread/new topics

I see the commit I suspected of being responsible for the change has been reverted.
