XF 2.2 How to re-order thread type selection (default to Questions)?

When you create a "Question" forum, you cannot allow other thread types (Discussions, Articles, Polls).

When you create a "DIscussion" forum, you can allow "Question" thread types, but cannot re-order them (to make them the default option).

I want to make a forum where "Question" is the default thread type but also allow general "Discussion" threads. Can this be done? Seems like an odd thing to exclude given all the functionality is there (you can even re-order Thread Types in a Discussion Forum but cannot move anything before "Discussion"- it is cemented as the first tab).

This is a good question. Did you ever find a solution? I eventually now have resorted to using AI analysis of my entire forum to change discussion threads to question/answer threads. It seems that people do not pay much mind if all options are presented to them and just go with the default.
