Badges order and usergroup ids

[mathforum]

Hello all,

I haven't been able to get a definitive answer as to how the order of multiple badges is chosen in the postbit, but it seems to be related to the usergroup ids. If this is true, can I run a SQL query to change the order of usergroup ids and in turn the order of the badges? For example, can I run code that says 1 -> 2, 2->1?

Thank you!

Badges? Do you mean User Ranks?

Yes, sorry. We call them "badges" on my site. Some people have three of them and they don't stack in the order we would like them to.

Then you would need to actually modify the code itself. I don't think you could do a plugin. There is actually a thread around here about how to do this. Did you try a search? (A question about rank order was actually asked within the last couple of weeks with the link to the thread posted.)

Found it. Just for reference, here is the post that describes how to make this change. Works flawlessly on my 4.2.0 board.
