[Forum]Option to sort forum topics by time of topic creation

[Jatekos]

Concise description:

• Add 1 more field to the below dropdown list on the forum pages that allows to sort by 'Topic creation time'.

Specifics/Details:

• Add 'Topic creation time' (or something similar) to this dropdown:
  
• Enable to view the most recent topics (e.g. the latest tournaments created).
• Currently you can sort topics by post time (by default), but there is no option to sort topics by topic creation time.

How this will benefit the site and/or other comments:

• Allow to check the latest tournaments quickly, without having to review the whole list of tournaments every time. - Currently the tournaments are arranged in alhpabetical order in the tournaments menu, while in the forum they are arranged by post date. Neither is of too much use if you do not want to check the whole list again and again, but only the new tournaments.
• Same for other topics.
• Seems easy to implement.

I was either not very clear or there is already an option for this. Or maybe both.

dont know if this can be done, its up to phpbb

Right, this is core forum software stuff, unless there is a modification out there in the phpBB Forums that adds this to the vanilla installation.

Would it be more beneficial to add a filter/sort to the Tournaments tab that could alternatively list open Tournaments by creation/database input date?

I originally thought that adding one more field to the a forum filter would be much easier than making Tournaments sortable, as the filter already exists in the forum pages. If it is complicated, then sorting Tournaments by creation time would work just as good. Either way fine for me.
