No, sorry

Not how a forum functions, things are sorted accurately by last post it would confuse the heck out of people.
This seems to be the chief worry so far. I'm not 100% sure it would confuse people, but I do see the point. If that worry is a show stopper for the suggestions, there may be two further ideas to save it, first:

hmm, maybe an option to switch it off?

[Or, it could be defaulted as off, and toggled to turn on], and second and I think probably better,
it could be a forum option that looks like this: Sort Topics By [with a scroll down with two options, d2jsp Default and Sort by Activity].
So I guess my thinking revolves around the idea that if they change were made, people would quickly adapt to it. Most forums have topics appearing in the way they do on d2jsp, but I'm not sure if that's a reason for dropping the idea. The idea has had some good reviews so far, so it looks like most of the users voting wouldn't be confused, and in a way it may create a cleaner look and gte people into better/more active topics faster. I'm interestd to see if the idea still has any life, but it's worth noting your concern, as it's a big one for this suggestion and it may ultimately be its end
