Ask HN and regular submissions are inherently different from Show HN.
You can also find Ask HN submissions in the "new" section.
If you want to propose a changes your best bet is the contact email in the footer.

I wrote an HN viewer in Vue with this function. Just click the heading until "Ask HN" shows then click the clock/triangle header over the points to order by points or time.

Super minimalist and to the point -- I like it.
Note: On mobile, I can't see the links if the title is too long.

Thanks. It tries to be responsive by using dual or single column view. I suppose the next step is to use a two line per item responsive view. I've often had trouble with clipped items as well.
I tend to use it where connectivity is spotty (subterranean transit) so I can see headings for days and open several pending links that load at the next stop with network.

I wish there were a separate section on the website interface for Ask HN that made it convenient for people as well as remembering that it's there. Even more importantly, to compete less with articles. Most Ask HN threads are 0 to 1 or 2 comments.
There is - click the 'Ask' link in the top navigation.
