It looks like you are sorting all the posts in descending title order (and so the star and the round double-quotes are "winning".

It still looks the same to me

It still looks the same to me — save that, as expected, now this post is on the top of the list because of the high Unicode character at the beginning. I even opened it on another browser to check if it was due to a cookie or something, but it's the same:

A great topic I just found. I found this to be a perfect choice. Geometry dash is a 2D game with a simple theme of controlling a geometric block to overcome the challenges included in this game.
