How to view forums by date, not "Trending Questions"

I used to be able to view forums by date, now they appear in order of "Trending Questions"  so that a discussion that has been inactive for three months now appears before a discussion from a day ago.

Is there a way to get back to the way it should be (by date), or must I live with this poorly conceived "upgrade?" I searched in my preferences and profile, but can't find a way to change this.

    Forum participants and internet denizens we all are, yet...

    Does anyone beside me find the term "trending" somehow childish and irritating?  Maybe it's the spin on the word that we see from television commercials that's causing it.

    I would venture that many non-native English speakers won't even understand the word. Not to mention the fact that I am one of those who cannot understand the utility of displaying them...

    You first need to click on any trending questions and then at the top you see see something like this:

    You can now click on the Discussions to enter the main page that is in date order..

    This is something Adobe staff got it wrong and now they don't know how to correct it.  this has been discussed on the forums without any results or feedback from the hierarchy.

    Hope this proves useful.

    The "trending questions" list is actually in reverse chronological order. If you are seeing older threads at the top of the list of trending questions it probably means that someone has edited that thread or moved it from another forum space into the one you are looking at. Editing an old thread will pop it back up to the top of the list, even if there isn't new content.
