What would be the best way to go about trying this?

I did this... because I have it where each user can select the post order... (that is where $bbuserinfo[postorder]==0 comes from.. I don't know what the variable would be for the whole BBS.. but the structure would be similar)

PHP Code:

 if($bbuserinfo[postorder]==0) {
   $post[postcount] = ++$postcount;
 } else {
   $postrev = $totalposts - $postcount;
   ++$postcount;
   $post[postcount] = $postrev;

 }

$post[totalposts] = $totalposts; 


..also I added the $post[totalposts] = $totalposts; line so that I can show Post # x of y

..just change the postbit template to have...

PHP Code:

<smallfont>Post #$post[postcount] of $post[totalposts]</smallfont> 


..wherever you want it.

Hope that helps,
