how to arrange order of topics by "start date" as default?

[fielderJ]

how does one arrange the topics based on the last posted topic? what i want is to arrange where the last posted topic is the newest topic not newest reply and i want it to be the default for everyone. i want to sort by start date and i want it to be the default option.

see the screenshot. the topic is arranged based on who replied last. i don' want that. i want the latest/newest topic to be the first without mattering who replied last. arrange by start date default is what i want.

please help where you can. thanks.

(I'll post images below to help further assist you.)

If you go into your forum settings where you can create categories, sections and subsections

Click on the section that you want to arrange by start date and select "Start Date" from the "Default sort order" option

Hope I helped!
