In VB3, I setup a quick drop list of links to allow members to sort the new post listing. This built-in functionallity seems to have been removed from VB4.

Example VB3: (this works)

Code:

search.php?do=getnew                     Default
search.php?do=getnew&sortby=title        Title
search.php?do=getnew&sortby=replycount   Number of Replies
search.php?do=getnew&sortby=views        Number of Views
search.php?do=getnew&sortby=threadstart  Thread Start Date
search.php?do=getnew&sortby=lastpost     Last Posting Date
search.php?do=getnew&sortby=postusername User Name
search.php?do=getnew&sortby=forum        Forum

Example VB4: (only views and replycount seem to work)

Code:

search.php?do=getnew&contenttype=vBForum_Post                     Default
search.php?do=getnew&contenttype=vBForum_Post&sortby=title        Thread Title
search.php?do=getnew&contenttype=vBForum_Post&sortby=lastpost     Last Post Time
search.php?do=getnew&contenttype=vBForum_Post&sortby=dateline     Thread Start Time
search.php?do=getnew&contenttype=vBForum_Post&sortby=replycount   Number of Replies
search.php?do=getnew&contenttype=vBForum_Post&sortby=views        Number of Views
search.php?do=getnew&contenttype=vBForum_Post&sortby=postusername Thread Starter
search.php?do=getnew&contenttype=vBForum_Post&sortby=voteavg      Thread Rating
search.php?do=getnew&contenttype=vBForum_Post&sortby=forum        Forum

I have hunted the code for clues on how to create a plugin to effect this. VB4 is a huge jump in complexity.

Anyone have an idea on how to implement sorting for new posts?

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