Can repro. 👍

Indeed. From the Categories page to the Top page, it automatically leads to `/top?order=created`, and will keep this filter when we change the time filter (e.g. `/top?order=created&period=monthly`).  
The topics will be sorted only by their creation date, and it seems they won’t take into account whether they’re “top” or not.
