Just a question... Does this allow you to order the forumdisplay by the first post's date/time?

Is anyone trying to get the search results to show this as well? I would really like this.

Don't forget adding it to the template for search results. ;)

An excellent little hack with a helpful detail that should've been included as standard, especially ever since vb3 minimized the position of the thread creator to the teeny tiny area under the thread title. (Still don't understand that decision -- isn't the thread creator rather important info?)

Anyway. Many thanks for this useful tweak. :)

I just upgraded my forum to 3.6.4 and made the attached plugin to recreate the functionality of this hack. Works fine for me, but your mileage may vary. You still have to make the template edit that's part of this hack, but just upload the plugin instead of making the file edit.

Thanks. Just added to my 3.5.4. Nice to have as a plugin to make future vB updating easier.

If anyone's interested in sorting by "thread start-time" (after installing this mod, of course), then do this:

Open FORUMDISPLAY template and replace
$vbphrase[thread] Title / $vbphrase[thread_starter]
with
$vbphrase[thread] Title / $vbphrase[thread_starter] / $vbphrase[thread_time]

then replace
<a href="$sorturl&amp;order=asc&amp;sort=postusername" rel="nofollow">$vbphrase[thread_starter]</a> $sortarrow[postusername]
with
<a href="$sorturl&amp;order=asc&amp;sort=postusername" rel="nofollow">$vbphrase[thread_starter]</a> $sortarrow[postusername] /
<a href="$sorturl&amp;order=asc&amp;sort=dateline" rel="nofollow">$vbphrase[thread_time]</a> $sortarrow[dateline]

then finally, make a custom Global vbphrase called thread_time, and make it whatever you want the sort link to say (mine was "Thread Start-Time").

No need to change any PHP, because it looks like the coders had it set up to sort by a thread's dateline, but there's simply no button for it.

Cheers all
