Sort LFG Listings By Date Created

I've not seen any kind of way to filter LFG listings by date created. This can be very hindering when trying to find groups only for the search to bring up listings created as many as 5-6 months ago that have been abandoned by their creators. Many of these listings which are obviously deprecated and no longer active fill up the top results of a search, leading to new players posting applications and joining inquiries to sections that haven't seen a single post from the game creators in nearly half a year, and groups that are actively searching for players can get pushed back and out of sight because of this. If we can sort groups based on starting soon and many other options, I think it'd be a great idea to include "Sort by Date Created" for game listings.

Hi Ashes to Ashes, I believe that&nbsp; LFG listings can only be renewed up to 3 months in advance. They are also automatically hidden once the group size is full, and once the Next Game Time has passed.&nbsp;So there should not be any games from 5-6 months ago that were abandoned. If there is a specific example of that, please report it from the LFG page of it and someone will take a look. Here is the Wiki docs for the LFG, <a href="https://wiki.roll20.net/Looking_for_Group" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.roll20.net/Looking_for_Group</a> It is still a good suggestion for Sort By Date Created.
Being unable to sort by date is incredibly frustrating. I can see why you might want other ways to sort in addition to "by date" (i.e., from newest posting to oldest posting), but I can think of no rational explanation why this, the most obvious sort option, would be missing.
