This is a request to give the user (reader) the ability to define a default sort setting in their profile. This is to sort the stories on an authors page.
As my first action on accessing an author page, I almost always change the sort from Title/Asc to Score/Desc. It would be cool if I could have this as a default and not have to select it every time.
I can imagine other users might wish to sort on Date or Downloads.
You can, I have mine set for Date/Desc so I get the newest ones first.
It is under your Account Profile, then "Edit Author Pages Display Preferences"
It's not new, it's been available for as far as I can remember (when I qualified for premier).
The site has been online for more than 25 years now, and lazeez keeps adding features.
By now, I'm sure lazeez himself doesn't know all the features or has forgotten that he had done some things.
