Sales section - order of when started

1. You can put the sales threads in order of last activity/ last post.... Why can't we put them in order of when they were started? Perhaps you can, but I can't find how to do it? I would like to scroll through and see all threads started in the last week, not sales threads which are a month old and are only at the top because they are regularly bumped. Some people start threads and never bump them, and they just get lost....

2. Put threads in order of country/ region?
