use the following code in forumdisplay_sort

PHP Code:

if(in_array($foruminfo['forumid'], array(5,8,9,24,89))
{
$sqlsortorder = 'ASC';
$sqlsortfield = 'thread.dateline';
$sortfield = 'lastpost';
 
$handled = true;
} 


Unfortunatly, because there is no "field" or column displayed on forumdisplay, its not possible to use the sortfield of dateline, if there was a column for when the thread was started you could sort by that field and allow users to reverse it. At the moment it is set to lastpost which means the sort arrow will appear in the lastpost column.

It might be possible to set it to be blank (so the arrow doesnt appear), though it might cause unforseen problems.

If you wanted to sort by thread title instead, you could just change thread.dateline to thread.title, and change 'ASC' to 'DESC' if you wanted descending order.

I havent tested this hook, but it should work, and will override user selections.
