The category setting `topic_list_sort_by` is stuck on `false` on my site for any of the options. If I change it to descending, save the category, it works and sorts correctly until the page is refreshed and it goes back to the default, when you go back into the category settings it has reverted back to `false` any idea what is going on here?
