I don't want to make a topic for this.

I have noticed that the "Who's Online" page defaults to sorting alphabetically by username. I can't remember, but I believe vB allows you to designate which criteria to set as the default for sorting.

Most forums go by "Last Activity" since that gives you a quick picture on who is really actively browsing (since the list is keeping track of people that might not have actually clicked anything in 15 to 20 minutes). It can make it a little hard to gauge who is actually, truly on at the moment.

I usually just click "Last Activity" to sort it anyway. Is there a use that someone else has for the alphabetical method that I just don't think of?
