How come rocket.chat is not allowing sort by Last message in the Directory of channels? At least for a community that would be the main point - to see where activity is currently ongoing. As it is you can only sort by number of people who have joined a channel (standard) and when a channel was created. Who cares when it was created? Very strange and bad.
