I’m using descending post order (newest replies first with plugin bbpress – sort topic replies) but would like recently edited replies of some forum also to go first.

Any tips on how to get this to work? Or is there a plugin that allows user to push their replies to the top?

I think using something like this would work for what you want.

function custom_bbp_has_replies() {
    $args['orderby'] = 'post_modified';
    $args['order'] = 'DESC';
    return $args;
}
add_filter('bbp_before_has_replies_parse_args', 'custom_bbp_has_replies' );

thanks, robkk, works like a charm!

to prevent showing all users’ replies in ‘my replies’ this code works instead, which robkk wrote:

function custom_bbp_has_replies( $args ) { 
    if ( bbp_is_single_topic() && !bbp_is_single_user() ) { 
        $args['orderby'] .= 'post_modified';
        $args['order'] .= 'DESC';
    } 
    return $args; 
} 
add_filter('bbp_before_has_replies_parse_args', 'custom_bbp_has_replies' );
