It wasn't something I thought I needed until I went hunting for custom sort options. I wanted to make a "suggestion box" forum and rather than have the normal bump-to-top (which could be gamed by the same people bumping the same thread over and over again, or having a lengthy discussion) I thought "first message likes" would be a good way to sort that forum by default.

[USER=71874]@Xon[/USER] mentioned to me that it was under Thread Display Options, and I thought, "hey great"... but it isn't a default option. I figured if it was available under Thread Display Options as a choice, it should also be available as a default (and also that the sort options should share the same naming scheme, since they do the same thing). It just felt very inconsistent.

You make a good point about the lack of obvious number of first likes. That might be an interesting thing to display in the thread list, actually.
