But that would test each thread to see which forum it is in. The loop there is to basically say "Should we apply open above closed in X, Y or Z forum". I'm not sure what you're suggestion is, can you clarify?

Update: What seems to be happening is that sorting is happening (open above closed threads) but only on a page by page basis. So if I go to page 2, the open ones are above the closed ones on that page. But obviously I want all the open ones at the top of page #1.

Solved! Hope this helps others...

Hook location: forumdisplay_query_threadid

PHP Code:

if (in_array($foruminfo['forumid'], array (XX, XX, XX))) {
$sqlsortfield = 'thread.open DESC, ' . $sqlsortfield;
} 


Replace XXs with forumids where you want open threads above closed, useful for Reported Posts forum for example.
