some quick suggestions...

1) in member.php don't mess with the $options... make a new variable... such as

$thepostorder=iif($thepostorder=="yes",1,0);

2)further down find the query that starts.. $DB_site->query("UPDATE user

and add... postorder='$thepostorder', anywhere will work.. I added it right after ....
emailonpm='$emailonpm',pmpopup='$pmpopup'

3)make sure that you change the template to reflect the variable name i.e. $thepostorder

<tr>
<td bgcolor="{firstaltcolor}"><normalfont>
<b>Show posts in decending order?</b>
</normalfont></td>
<td bgcolor="{firstaltcolor}"><normalfont>
<input type="radio" name="thepostorder" value="yes" $postorderchecked> yes
<input type="radio" name="thepostorder" value="no" $postordernotchecked> no
</normalfont></td>
</tr>

This worked for me.

THEN I had to go in and make a bunch of changes to teh post numbers hack... but you won't need that unless you use that hack.

Hope that helps,
Kyle

P.S. I can rewrite all this if you have probs... but it looks like you were almost there anyway!
