Sort Forums by Freshness (recent replies)

Hi there –

I am having some trouble trying to configure this forums plugin to be sorted by the most recent activity (replies), rather than by the most recent post creation time.

My client would prefer that the order of forums, appear in the order of recent reply time. Even if the forum was created 2 years ago, if someone replies, I would like that forum to appear at the top of the list..

Please do share your thoughts and suggestions, as I feel like this will be of great use to many.

Thanks

@dreuezekiel – ok try adding this to your functions file
```
add_filter('bbp_before_has_forums_parse_args', 'order_by_freshness', 10, 2);

function order_by_freshness ($args='') {
	$args = array(
	'meta_key'   => '_bbp_last_active_time',
	'orderby'    => 'meta_value',
	'order'      => 'DESC',
	);
	return $args ;
}
```
if you don’t know how to do that, come back and I’ll wrap it in a baby plugin for you
