I mistakedly submitted a report to JIRA because I was under the impression that threads are ordered by the date of the last post. It turns out dat they are ordered by the date of the first post in the thread.

Personally I like the "last post" behaviour, because this makes it easy to catch up with unread articles (threads containing unread articles are then sorted on top).

Rafael, do you think it is possible to add a preference (system wide or even personal) to control this behaviour? If you feel that this is worthwile and not too much work, I will look into implementing this.

I agree, and I already fixed that

That will be nice. Is not hard to implement. We can add one more option to User Profile, where the user in question may choose the preferred order solution.

This new option will be used on TopicModel ( TopicModel.selectAllTopicsByLimit query ), to specify the order by style. ( "topic_time" when the user wants to see the topics ordered by first post time, and "p2.post_time" when the system should list using the time of the last post ).

I have version 2.0.2 and can't see this option. Has it been added?

If not, when is a release with it likely to be available?

Thanks.
