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.

Can we please, please, pretty please get that "Ask a Question" changed to "Search this forum"?

BTW, I am a moderator of some Adobue forums, and I can tell you that we as moderators can change pretty much EVERYTHING else about the layout of these forum pages except that we CANNOT change that box's wording. It seems to be something that only Adobe will be able to do, and perhaps across all forums.

Even so, I can't imagine there is anyone who would complain if this was changed. There are SO many forum discussions, blog entries, tweets, and real life discussions where people complain that the current wording (using "ask a question", for what is the "search the forums" feature, but only apparent once you start to type). I'm sure it must seriously hamper the value of the forums for many, many users.

"Ask a question" is about as idiotic and meaningless as anything; I cannot imagine in what soggy brain this was conceived.

Mind you, this started just about ½ year ago; before that it was called Forum Search or similar - something that people could understand.
