Topic: Sort topics by Letter (alphabetically)

It would be nice to have an option to sort topics alphabetically in chosen forum (Forums -> Edit Forum -> Sort topics by - it's only last post, topic start options).

Usage: for example I have music forum and I want people to comment the albums. The date of posts doesn't matter here. On the contrary, if topic are listed alhabetically it's far better to find the album that you want.

Re: Sort topics by Letter (alphabetically)

The ability to sort the presentation of topics within a forum alphabetically certainly could be useful.

I could think of a dozen ways to use that, where you want the focus to be essentially the title or subject of the topics, not when the topic was added.

It would also be good if this option then applied to sticky topics too.

Within a topic you'd keep last-to-first or first-to-last chronological sorting though. That would make sense.

yeah, i made mistake in my post, instead of  "The date of topics doesn't matter here" i wrote "the date of posts"
