The regular topics are sorted by alphabetic order

The sticky topics are always on top BUT they are sorted another way : most recent on top (?)

I want to to sort the sticky ones following my own choice. For instance, I want a "welcome" topic to be always the first topic...

- Is this possibility foreseen ?
- Or do I have to change a value in the database? e.g. Is it related to the tid value in table "entries"?

Kind regards,

Jean-Michel
