Why are RECENT questions no longer listed FIRST?

Is it just me, or did Y!A make a change a few days ago in how it lists questions in a given forum? Seems it used to list the most recent questions first. Now I get questions from a week ago on top; then maybe a question from a day ago; then 2 days ago; random time order. I typically have to scroll way down if I want to read a question that somebody's posted in the last few hours, and that I haven't already read (maybe days ago).

I thought this might have been an account setting that I (accidentally?) set, but if so, I can't find it anywhere. Any help?

    They are but not under Discover.

    To see the newest questions to answer....At the top of the question list make sure Answer is underlined not Discover.

    If it is Discover underlined click Answer to see the newest questions in chronological order.

    If you have a favorite category click the white pin when it is on Answer so it turns orange and a quick link to that category will be seen on the left side column under your name there.
