Hello all

apologies, this may well be posted in the wrong forum, so feel free to move it accordingly.
I may well have missed it as I haven't been on this forum for a few months, however is there a way to sort the forum so that it shows the ending date of a competition first - i.e. the closest to ending 1st and the longest end date as the last entry (and if there is, can I have an idiots guide to it please)?
I can see that the forum team have added the tick / cross next to the title, so you can easily see entries that have been made (assuming of course you remember to tick it lol)
Hope that makes sense, it does in my head anyway :D

Sometimes I wonder...
"why is that frisbee getting bigger?"
...and then it hits me

Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.

    There is currently no facility for sorting the board by end date (or anything else) but we believe it is being worked on and could be available in due course.
    The best you can do at present is search by end date by using: https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/search?adv=1&search=&title=%2212%2F08%22&author=&cat=72&tags=&discussion_d=1&within=1+day&date=
    This url will find comps ending 12/08 and to get other dates you will need to amend the date in the first line of the search parameters to whichever date is required but keep the quote marks. Unfortunately, the search results do not show the Enter/Skipped marks which is another thing that has been asked for.
