Default post order in thread display for unauthenticated users

[Meestor_X]

Thanks for that information!

I'm trying to understand that code (I'm only a beginner in PHP)...

This code seems to deal only with ascending and descending order for the posts, by date. (I assume that's what dateline means?)

What if they're sorted by thread rating or some other factor? Where is that taken into account?

The query seems to be:

PHP Code:

$getpostids = $db->query_read("
            SELECT postid
            FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "post AS post
            $hook_query_joins
            WHERE threadid = $threadid
                AND visible = 1
                $hook_query_where
            ORDER BY dateline $postorder
            LIMIT $limitlower, $perpage
        ");
