Re: How to change the default sort for forums listing?
The default order of the forums is defined in Forum admin (tiki-admin.php?page=forums), in the last section of the options.
If you want to change the default order of the topics within each forum, then you can do this within the properties of each individual forum. If you edit the properties of a particular forum, at the very bottom you'll find a link that says "Show topic preferences", click that link to expand the options window and you should now see a dropdown box that will allow you to choose the default display order of the topics.
Hope this helps.
