at some point during last week, the alphabetical sorting of subforums in league section got broken, resulting in this:

Yes, I did that intentionally as it was pointless seeing the semi-inactive ones up at the top.

It is still possible to enforce an order if required, but now when they have no enforced priority, they will be sorted by latest post date.

The idea is to help make it easier to see where the action is taking place, where signups are happening etc.

I see, wish there was a way to set this as a user, much prefer alphabetical sorting, but i'll live with it

My personal preference would be to have the recent leagues sorted by columns, not rows.
As of now, the leagues keep jumping left and right between the two columns as they get 'older' and fresher entry goes to the top left, making me guess which column my desired league is in right now.
With the proposed sorting I would immediately know to search the left column first for my active league.
