I vote for it as well. I have a forum that relies on the ability to sort by subject. I have the date set up in the beginning of the subject line for this purpose in the format yyyy/mm/dd. It is a concert forum where people expect to see the proper order of shows spanning decades. As it is, last posted is always on top and I do not have a way to make sure they fall in order. I could sticky some of them, but that is not an ideal solution to browse shows in order. I can't think of a workaround for now. The ability to hard code a preference into the forum settings to always sort by a particular column is something I've been hoping would find its way into the board, but clicking a button to sort by column every time would be a welcome addition if the other way is not possible.
