[meta] any way to sort forum threads by date posted?

[cockherocomments]

i dont really check in all that often so sometimes I miss a release. is there any way to sort threads by the date that the author originally posted them (and not the latest reply)?

You can do it via the search function - just search for "release" and limit it to topic titles only: search.php?keywords=release&terms=all&a ... mit=Search

OMG, I've been doing this wrong for years. I do exactly this, but I always check "Display results as: Topics" instead of posts. And it would always sort the topics by the latest posts.. go figure
It's been bugging me forever, thanks for this. And thanks OP for asking the question

As a bonus, you could try searching for /[RELEASE/]. this will search for topics with the exact [RELEASE] tag that is the convention. The slashes are used to prevent the [] from being interpreted as search syntax. This will filter out any topics that might otherwise have "release" in the title.

search.php?keywords=release&terms=all&a ... mit=Search

it doesn't work. for example the third result is viewtopic.php?f=25&t=16001&hilit=release
