I've noticed some inconsistent behaviour with forums sorted alphabetically by topic subject.

The Forum itself is no problem, topics are correctly listed as follows:

Sticky Topic B Jul 03
Sticky Topic E Mar 03
Topic A Feb 03
Topic C Jul 02
Topic D Nov 03
Topic F Jun 03

After adding a reply to topic D, this correctly shows on the Forum & Category Summary in the Last Post column.

Say I then delete Topic C and return to the Forum & Category Summary. Topic A now shows (incorrectly) as the Last Post. I would have thought Topic D should still be displayed here as before.

I'm not sure which of the two is the designed behaviour (I'd prefer the most recent post - Topic D - to be shown)

Hope I've explained this OK.

Regards

Paul

This was fixed early in 6.7.0 development.

In short, all forums are now really sorted by date internally. Alpha sorted forums just have an additional index used ONLY when looking at the list of topics.

This allows for the proper sorting behavior without breaking the way a lot of the other functions work. This also means that alpha sorted forums can now be pruned, be the source of mass moves, and be the source of content islands.
