sort threads by dateline for certain forums..

[ralphuk100]

Thanks - thats sorted the errors...couple of questions:

1) Is there any way to specify whether ASC or DESC sorting or results?

2) More of an observation really. The option for "date creation" in edit forum has a value in the drop down (html) list but no printed value in the list on the forumdisplay page - I have deduced this is because no phrase has been set for date_creation.

3) If I set my individual forums with different values what happens if someone changes the default sort field in forumdisplay options? - Will this just set what the global default is or will it override my individual forum settings?

If I think of anything more will let you know

1) Yes, but if you want this per-forum basis too it requires a bit more hacking
2) This was coded as an addon fot the "Show Thread creation Date"-Hack, so you will need this hack too if you want to sort on creation date.
3) If you spacify a default sortfile for a forum (other then default of course ) it will keep this, no matter what default for forumdisplay ist set.

Thanks kirbyDE - at the moment we only need the sort order for all forums to be descending as default so luckily don't need to hack anymore. I just added a var name date_creation to sort out the missing text.
