Allow forum posts to be displayed chronologically, rather than adjust due to comment activity

In all of our forums, an old post will jump to the top if someone comments on it - even if the post is from a long time ago. I would like the ability to turn this off, so that more relevant, but less "active" posts have the chance to be seen.
To be clear, I'm not talking about pinning posts. I would like to be able to have the chronology of a forum stay consistent, and not factor commenting into the equation.
This is our general discussion forum. The top post, made by Ryan, was posted Nov. 12, while the bottom post, by me, was posted Dec. 1.
The orange arrow denotes a comment made on Ryan's post after Dec 1, which moved his whole post about mine, thus affecting the chronology.
The purple arrow is indicating the "new" tag in our other forums. This tag pops up when someone makes a new post (which is good) but it also pops up when someone comments on a previous post (which is confusing).
Is it possible to adjust the forum settings to that:
a) comments on posts do not affect the chronology
b) comments are assigned a different color "new" tag; or specified with a "new comment" tag; or not indicated at all

It'd be great if we could extend this to making sure scheduled posts appear in the list of posts by the date they're posted, rather than created. Just now, scheduled posts created in advance, are published further down the comments list and in a weird order as though they were published on the date they were created. 🙏

Thanks for the request.
In the new community experience we are building right now, posts can be sorted in different ways.
