An Idea for Thread Display Order

[memobug]

Would it be possible to create a hack that would allow the default thread display order for certain forums to be set to Alphabetical? I am thinking for book lists and FAQs this would be a nice feature.

Obviously the user can click the THREAD button to reorder the posts alphabetically or reverse alpha, but certain information-only forums really would benefit from a default presentation like this, plus very few new users know they can reorder the display of threads by thread/starter/replies/views/rating or Last Post.

Maybe what I am actually suggesting is that the admin could be able to select any of these options:

thread title/starter/replies/views/rating/lastpost

could be configurable as the Thread sort order, able to override "last post" order, which would remain the default.
