Greatest by time by default?

Does anyone know if there is a way to go to the forum that shows greatest threads by time first? When reading on my phone it always sorts by number of recommendations by default, I have to switch to by time to see the newest one and every time I open a new post to read it when I do back it goes back to sorting by number of recommendation again and I have to switch again and try to find the post I’m at. Not the end of the world but annoying. Is there a direct link I could bookmark that sorts them by time? I just want to see the most recent ones first most of the time. thanks.

Nor can you bookmark the page so it sorts in a different order.

I say “currently” though because we do have some changes coming down the road which will hopefully solve the problem for you.

I would like the option to default to ‘greatest by time’ as well

Glad to hear an upcoming change may make it easier. Easier to read on my ipad but I use my phone at lunch. As I said not a huge deal but wondered if there was a different way I was missing.
