Suggestion for Quick Answers - Active Tab
-
The sort / grouping options for viewing Quick Answers has an "Active" choice. According to the "hover help text", it means ordered by last activity date. However, it does not include "replies" entered. I appears to only include the Question and Solutions and the edits to them. So if a solution was added "4 hours ago" but somebody entered a comment or reply within the last 5 minutes, the Quick Answers view still shows "4 hours ago". It would be nice to have the "Active" choice include those other activities that show that people are adding / asking / answering information on a question. Makes it easier to keep on top of things.

I'll add this to the TODO. It requires a fair bit of work to ensure it's efficient without us completely hacking our current infrastructure, but it's a neat idea. [Task #2288]
