Yahoo Answers is shutting down on May 4th, 2021 (Eastern Time) and beginning April 20th, 2021 (Eastern Time) the Yahoo Answers website will be in read-only mode. There will be no changes to other Yahoo properties or services, or your Yahoo account. You can find more information about the Yahoo Answers shutdown and how to download your data on this help page.

Has the date order in which questions appear changed?

In the nearly three years since I have been a member of Y!A I have been used to questions appearing with the latest to be asked on the opening page of a topic. In recent days this appears to have changed with the earliest questions appearing on the first page with the latest right at the end, perhaps many pages later. Has there been a change? Is there any way to change back to latest first?

    Its just a glitch. When you are in the category just below "Questions in Yahoo Answers" you will see "Open"below that word Sort by and to the right of that "oldest" Click the downward arrow beside that, to change it to newest and away you go.

    If you hate... fix it. It's a glitch... not a change Y!A made. This forum has been flooded with questions about it... almost can't miss them. There's an easy fix you may need to use periodically until the problem is fixed. Just above the list of questions in each category are the words "Sort by" (which has always been there). Next to it there's a link, when older questions are appearing, "Oldest". Click on that to view the "Newest", most recent questions in the category.

    It's a typical yahoo glitch. It'll get fixed when they realize that people are complaining

    My QA are the same, can't pull up anything in the political section. Might have something to with what someone said.
