Re: 1.9.8 / How can I order my Forums
I came across this last week. For some reason you can sort by create date only one way, most recent at the top. It's worth pointing out though, that regardless of the order you want your forums to be in, if you employ Sections, then the sections will always be ordered alphabetically.
Might be worth requesting a feature change in 1.10 to allow sorting of Sections and additional sort options for the forums within those sections.
