Feature Description

When I go to a project's fork page, I like to see how diverse the activity is on that project. A bigger community with more diversity in development would have more forks that are active and maybe even have children of their own. When I go to the forks page however I see forks ordered by the date they were created in ascending order. So the ones I'm most interested in are at the bottom.

The simple form of my idea is to reverse the order of forks displayed here so it's the latest ones first. Medium form is to order by something more meaningful like last commit date. The ultimate would be to order by some idea of liveliness (combination # of children forks, commits ahead of upstream, # of committers).
