Hi!

When I tried sorting the topic list by category today, I noticed several things off:

1. The list is sortable by category at all. I don’t really see the use case.

2. Opening [meta.discourse.org](http://meta.discourse.org) and clicking on the category header sorts the list by category. Scrolling down does not load additional topics.

3. Opening [meta.discourse.org](http://meta.discourse.org) and clicking on “latest”, then on the category header does not sort the list, but generates the javascript error

4. Opening `meta.discourse.org/?order=category` directly, displays the sorted list. Scrolling down loads additional topics as expected. When I click the sort button now, the sort order is correctly reversed, but scrolling down does not load additional topics.
