Why does Y!A now automatically show me the oldest questions?

Before the site was redone, when browsing through categories I would always see the newest questions at the top. Now I always see the oldest questions first from a week ago, and it drives me crazy. I will reset it to view "newest" but it never stays that way. Is anyone else having this issue? Is there a way to fix it permanently so I can view the newest questions first?

It’s one of the latest glitches and has been bothering users for days. Look at the top of the category lists where it says <sorted by>, click on oldest twice to get it changed to newest. It may again switch to sorted by oldest questions first, but now you know how to take care of the problem, at least temporarily…

    From the look of it you need to do it for each section you visit, after that it doesn’t switch back.
