SORT option - why doesnt it "stick"

In Ideas . . .

I really wish the SORT option would either default to TOP - or even better - STICK with the last selection chosen - even across successive logons.

I for one find the trending option rather annoying and just wish it would stick with what I select - as the TOP .

    FYI

    Whereas ...

    My preference is "New" ...

    Certainly NOT the USELESS "Trending"; and,

    Not the "Top" (which ONLY relates to the number of "Votes" for a post).

    But ...

    That said ...

    Personally, I would prefer the DEFAULT "Sort" Order, for 'Posts', to be the 'Date'/'Time' that they are listed/posted ...

    With those, "Trending"; and/or, "Top" (and/or, possibly "New") to simply be "Options" if someone so desires.

    I have NO interest whatsoever in, either, "Trending"; and/or, "Top" (and/or, "New", unless that is the 'Date'/'Time' that they are listed/posted)

    Just my thoughts

    Brett responded to this post yesterday, but his post is not visible. From responses he has made over a number of years, I am sure he was offering useful advice. Would someone please identify what appears to be a bug and get his comments reinstated, please.

    Otherwise, perhaps a FamilySearch employee could provide an answer to Dennis' point.

    In an engineering feedback and suggestions forum for tools like the Ideas area is SUPPOSED to be, a sort on trending is totally useless! Why in the world is it even there in the first place? The Ideas area is not supposed be a popularity promotion area. You need to sort by dates of submission and updates so that one can see what is "current". Even if there has been just one recent response, that should be enough to bring a thread to the top. Requiring all kind of discussion on something in order to bring it to the head of the list is just not that useful for this context.

    Please consider the applications that are being applied here.
