Alphabetize thread list order in single forum
 

I want to sort the thread display of one single forum by alphabetical order.
Having tried this suggestion https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...threadid=42383 I think I'm misunderstanding the placement of the code.

Finding this in forumdisplay.php:

switch ($sortfield) {
case 'title':
case 'lastpost':
case 'replycount':
case 'views':
case 'postusername':
case 'voteavg':
break;

default:
$sortfield='lastpost';
}


it says to replace $sortfield='lastpost'; with $sortfield='title';

and to limit it to one forum it says replace it with an if-clause:

if($foruminfo[forumid]==x) $sortfield='title';
elseif($foruminfo[forumid]==y) $sortfield='rating';
else $sortfield='lastpost';



Since I don't want any sorting by rating I did this:

switch ($sortfield) {
case 'title':
case 'lastpost':
case 'replycount':
case 'views':
case 'postusername':
case 'voteavg':
break;


default:

if($foruminfo[forumid]==163) $sortfield='title';
else $sortfield='lastpost';
}

But I'm getting a parse error with it. Can someone point out my error?

You need to be much more specific as to the error...

I typed in in manually and now I'm not getting a parse error. But it's not putting the thread in alphabetical order. Take a look:
http://216.92.20.151/discussions/for...s=&forumid=163

It would help if unregistered guests could view the forum. ;)

Sorry. It's open for guests now. :)

hmm, i don't see a parse error, also normally this code above shouldn't produce any error

I rewrote it manually (before I had cut and pasted) and now it's not giving me an error. But it's not alphabetizing the threads so basically it's not doing what I need it to do. Any suggestions?

be sure, that no sortfield isn't set already in the url or somewhere ;)

Can you be more specific? What should I look for and where?

if sortfield=bla bla is specified in the url or in the code before the switch
