Sortable columns for message listing · **Released**: 02-26-2005

Description
This hack changes the PM message listing to work more like most webmail type systems. The date, title and sender are separated into three columns and the current message grouping (ie today, yesterday, last week) is removed. Each of the new columns can be sorted by clicking on the column header. I have long hated the way the old message system works because I have trouble finding all messages from a particular user. By being able to sort by users, this has made things easier.

Updates
Version 1.01
1) Updated install script. Step 12 listed wrong template
2) Corrected problem with pagination. If you have installed 1.00, just redo step 7.
3) Updated to handle the fact that not everyone uses PM icons. Steps 9 to 12 were updated to reflect this change. This change both turns off the column when not used and properly alternates the column colors. If you have installed this and are using PM Icons, don't worry about it.

Just wondering how difficult it would be to mod this to work exactly the same on search.php, particularly with new posts, ie: sort by forum name upon clicking "New Posts"

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
