I don't know what happened, but all of the sudden all of the messages are arranged in alphabetical order instead of chronological order. I'm finding this to be VERY annoying, since I can't readily find new messages that I haven't read. So far the search feature for new messages has not been working properly. I don't know if this is a user error or a change in the board, but I hope it gets reversed soon!!!

You probably accidentally clicked on the "Discussion Topic" header at the top of the columns. That sorts the topics by discussion topic (alphabetically, as you already have noted).

Click on the "Last Updated Date/Author" heading to have them sorted numerically by date. If they come up as oldest-first instead of newest-first, click it again until you get what you want.

It's one of those features that ambushes you without telling you what it's just done.

Gotta love technology, eh?
