when I look at a knew subject like crafting. I push the button and the questions from 2009 start at the top. I have to go all the way to the end of the squares to find the recent questions from 2018. Is there anyway you could switch the dates in order. That would make it a lot more convenient for me. I keep forgetting those first few questions are from years past then have scroll over to the right ones. the recent ones should be at the top I think.
I believe that they are automatically based on the date unless it's a sticky post or a hot topic. Perhaps you are looking at the date of when the user joined Wizard101 instead of when the post was made?
