Is there a way to force posts to display in chronological order? I have topics on my forum that sometimes push _reply posts_ down to the very end, rather than staying in chronological order. (I don’t understand precisely when this behavior happens.)

For example, here I have two recent posts followed by an old post:

This example comes from this topic:

Thank you!
