Can "Team Recruitment" be forced chronological view like GD?

It doesn't make sense for a recruitment board to be sorted by popularity.

Team that are already filled would rise to the top. ie: threads that have already served their purpose and are now completely useless would rise to the top.

It also makes sense, on a recruitment board, for only active threads to be at the top. If someone abandons their thread, why should it get more visibility than someone who just posted a new thread and is looking for a team? And why shouldn't I be able to bump my thread if I'm still looking for people to add to my team a couple days after the thread was already posted?

tl;dr -> chronological format makes more sense on a recruitment board than a reddit/upvote style, and it should be forced that way, just like GD.

Agreed with you here.

and it should be forced that way, just like GD.

But not sure if I agree here. Why not give people the option of Hot sorting*? I'd agree with making "recent" the default for those boards, though.

######*Hot sorting is by votes AND comments, not purely reddit style

is it possible for Riot to change the default for one board? I thought the setting you choose persisted across all boards (with the exception of GD, which only has the one setting - AND which was bugging out and causing everyone's view on all boards to switch to "recent" if they visited GD, but they fixed that :P)

Right now it's not; your sorting setting follows you from board to board.

But this is a platform that's under development. If they can fix GD so it doesn't affect people's view on the rest of the boards, they can also implement functionality which allows you to have a unique sorting for each board.

Do you think that's something worth effort it'll take to develop it? I think it probably isn't right now (better quoting is more important), but it's something I'd like to see in the long run.
