I don’t know if this is due to a recent change or if it’s always been like that, but when I go to /edit/settings and choose sort by creation date (descending), I expect to see topics sorted by creation date.

However, I’m getting topics sorted by last activity. Is it just me?

Edit: I edited the category, changed it to order by activity and saved it. They I edited it again and changed it to order by created and saved it. Now it appears to work again. 🤷‍♂️
