The topic sort options menu seems to have been broken, as it is showing up a ways below the dropdown button. Also, the entries seem to be centered, which looks odd with "Newest topics".
In addition, it is somewhat confusing that this is a click menu while all the others are (now) hover menus. It is also irritating that to dismiss the menu you have to click on one of the entries or the initial button, instead of being able to click off the menu.

Commenting here to avoid off-topic comments after phab:T100858#1413208. I must say I didn't understand this menu the first time I saw it some time ago: I just though it didn't have any options yet, because It looks like a list of available options where there is only one option available (the one current in use), so I didn't feel like I could choose anything and left it alone completely forgetting about its existence.
If at some point it was like in the screenshot above, I believe it should go back to that format (showing all items in the list, instead of only the non-selected ones).
Sorting falls under the general scenarios about "finding topics and posts of interest in a board". As new features (such as search and filters) are supported in that area, sorting will also evolve to support these scenarios in a consistent way (i.e., it will change soon). The designs for "finding topics on a board" are captured in this ticket, where you can find links to more tickets on specific aspects (including the advanced search panel where sorting can be adjusted). Feel free to provide feedback!
