Another one here that installed, check settings and have noticed no change. I notice there are a lot commenting on this problem and so far, no answers to it. ><

from
1 | 2
3 | 4
5 | 6

To

1 | 4
2 | 5
3 | 6

The latter order follows typical user alpha order expectations better.

Thanks.

I would also like to request the ability to do this (or perhaps make it default).

I use vb project tools.

Is there a way to have them show up under their specific forums but maybe indented?

Right now, they show up to the right of the specific forum, similar of how a subforum would have shown up in default vb, and it stretches my page out.

Thanks in advance, if anyone has a solution.

An alternative, which seems to offer the same things, plus the ability to sort different ways: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=181939

Having a play with it now.

I like this add on, it's very nice on Forum, only no Last Post, Threads, and Posts columns (installed on VBB 3.7.2). Can anyone help me...? Thanks.
