Sorting by "activity"...

c__

... will actually only sort by First-Post time. Regardless of when the La(te)st-Post was made.

Bugs me too, but I have to say, the default sort is by most recent activity, and to redo that sort, click on "Topic", which isn't very intuitive.

Long history on this one:

To sort by latest post, click the title column, since that is the default sort anyway.

And what if i want to sort alphabetically by title, how do i do THAT?!?

PS At least rename "activity" with "topic age", that's what those two columns show, and it reflects the sorting key much more accurately.

Sorting alphabetically by topic title is so insane that it shouldn't be considered an option by any sane user.

Activity column shows the duration of activity in a topic, e.g.

First post → Last post
Jan '05 → Feb '12
3h → 1h
2d → 14h

Oh, and don't expect much sanity here! :p

Oh, so then

5h → 2h

would sort BEFORE

3h → 1h

?!? I'm losing all inclination to give you credit for actually knowing what you're doing, since you just can't quantify "activity" like that!
