Hey 711 - I'm looking to change the same thing

Found this on the vbulletin site - haven't tried it yet but supposedly it should fix the problem

Please make a user option that allows members to choose which way they want to sort.



my "hack" that lets users choose...




create a new profile field, single selection box. Values are "Oldest First" (default) and "Newest First"
After line 2153 in group.php add this line:

if ($vbulletin->userinfo['field###']=="Newest First") {$dsort=true;} else {$dsort=false;}

Edit the following line to look like this:

$collection = $collection_factory->create('message', $discussion['discussionid'], $vbulletin->GPC['pagenumber'], $perpage, $dsort);

Now users who liked the old "Newest First" layout are happy again, and I can still keep users that enjoy the forum-like layout of the social group messages happy.



Come on guys... it would take 1 minute to add this to 3.8.2
