Each category now has a sort order setting with ascending / descending.

However, there is no option to sort for **Original Post Title**. Besides **Created** , seems like that would be a key use case.

**Would be nice for categories that use naming or numbering conventions in the topic title, such as for documentation, policies, FAQs, calendars, changelogs, releases, etc.**
