Ackshually, no it's really not. You can continue to argue with the dozens of people that have posted that they use this feature, in different ways, but that doesn't change the fact that it was a feature that was removed with no warning or explanation or replacement. Sorting a column is a basic feature, and sorting by date is unhelpful for all but the most simplistic uses. They also removed saved searches in the left hand navigation.
I don't do whatever TSW you keep derisively referring to, but I use evernote to store procedural steps for varying projects. I want to see groupings of tags, sorted. This isn't an outrageous, fringe ask. It's a feature that paying customers used that was removed.
