&lt;p&gt;In the top-right corner of the forum list, there is a button you can click to change the sort order. By default, it should already be showing by date, with the most recent posts at the top.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When you say &amp;quot;newest first&amp;quot;, do you mean show new, unanswered posts at the top (above more recent replies to other thread?).&amp;nbsp;On the top-left side, there is a button to filter the posts. You could select &amp;quot;unanswered questions and discussions&amp;quot;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;At the moment I do not know of a way to do this. However, for long thread, you will see a &amp;quot;load previous&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;load next&amp;quot; button to display posts above or below the reply that you landed on. There are also options below the original post in a thread - see image below. If you only want to see Answers (for question based threads), click the &amp;quot;Answers&amp;quot; button at the top-right to filter.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If this does not help, can you provide a sketch or more details of what you&amp;#39;re looking for and the reason? (to help ensure we understand)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
