I fear you may be on an older version of the app as the ability to sort the feed from the menu no longer exists in the ios app now as far as I know.

I've try Paul suggestion, but it doens't work. For som reason, newsfeed become a heading rather than anything else on the home screen. And, if i go to main menu; newsfeed setting, it only give me the two option, reason stories or top stories. Any idea how to get around this? I tried voicebook, but doesn't really like it.
