I second this: sometimes I do commits on old projects to tweak readmes, but I don't want them surfacing to the top of my repositories page. Setting a default sort would be really helpful for this.

For example, the default could remain Recently updated, but there exists some app.ini config property / user property / org property to change it to some other values, like Newest.

Default sort order should be implemented for everything. Most important would be orgs and repos. I don't care what the default is, as long as there is a way to override it.

I'm also looking for a way to default sort, especially for the issue tracker (recently updated first).
Is there a way to set a default meanwhile?

Also interested in sorting issues by recently updated first. It's a drag to have to go through multiple issues (sometimes multiple pages) to find the ones that are actively being worked on/discussed.

Edit: For clarity, this is referring to the issues in individual repositories. Gitea's "Issues" page itself seems to already sort by recently updated.

yeah i really wish it would default to sorting by alpha on all our orgs, we aren't treating dev as a race and people just need to be able to find things they need in a consistent way that the alphabet provides. such that, my team uses a tampermonkey script to redirect to ?sort=alphabetically if we visit without a sort set.

in my mind, i feel like the front end should remember that in local storage or something. then like the tampermonkey, its per user choice where they left it.

Same for me. Define default sort order in app.ini and/or ui.

I am curious, is there any valid reason why configurable sort order hasn't been implemented for 5 years? I get that it's a cosmetic issue compared to making sure other more important features work but still... it's unfathomable that it hasn't been done yet when it's such a basic feature of any list in any GUI.

Should this be a per org level configuration or a system level configuration?

Personally, I'd be happy with a feature that was at least repo level or user level. I don't think system level makes sense since you probably want some flexibility (if there's different sorting modes). I'd prefer repo level over org-level, though I'd settle for org-level if it's the only choice.

@lunny

Here's what I would like to see:

Default to sorting repos and orgs alphabetically everywhere.

Rationale:
Current order by last modified time is bad because people use muscle memory to navigate but repos and orgs keep jumping around as they are updated making consistent navigation impossible. Furthermore, items not sorted alphabetically make it harder to navigate by scrolling or skipping pages which is often faster than using search.

Allow setting a system-wide sort default in app.ini

Rationale:
Perhaps someone will disagree with my first proposal and they will want to revert to current sort order. Allowing setting a system-wide default in config would let them accomplish that.

Store manually selected sort order in user settings

Rationale:
This will allow individual users to override system-wide settings.

Hope that helps.

That seems just for one spot in the UI, right?

This. I mean, #2647 changed some defaults, but still no option neither in the database nor in app.ini to edit those, only current customizable thing I could find is ui.EXPLORE_PAGING_DEFAULT_SORT. No org default, no user default, nothing.

I do commits on old projects to tweak readmes, but I don't want them surfacing to the top

Also this too, it would be nice if it was possible to define a way for old repos to not be considered in the default "recently updated" sorting.
For example, if a repo is archived or some other flag, it should not be considered "recently updated", since it's "old anyways" or somethig.
