Order of posts alphabetically

[Xenon]

yes, but i think he meant to be automatically

Thanks Xenon but how will that fix the reversed alphabetization on thread page 2? That's my problem right now. My current syntax is working to alphabetize a-z on page 1 but page 2 is z-a.

[Cyn]

I tried your syntax and I still have the same problem page 1 is a-z but page 2 is z-a. I've discovered something else that is problem as well.

I want the posts to be listed in a-z order of thread title regardless of last post date. I don't want the post date to influence the placement of the thread. I want all threads that start with A to be listed with all the A's and so on. Presently there are A's on page 1 and on page 2 due to the date of the last post.

So two things: a-z order on all pages and placement of threads in their a-z order regardless of post date or last post date.

I appreciate your help. Really I do.

PS. I'm a she.

I tried this and several other variants and have not been able to get it to work.

vB version: 2.3.0
PHP version: 4.3.1
MYSQL ver.: 4.0.13

PHP Code:

switch ($sortfield) {
  case 'title':
  case 'lastpost':
  case 'replycount':
  case 'views':
  case 'postusername':
  case 'voteavg':
    break;

  default:
    if($foruminfo[forumid]==49) 
{$sortfield='title'; 
 $sqlsortorder='ASC';

else $sortfield='lastpost';
}}

one } is on an invalid place.

Well, I've tried editing this snippet of code 7 ways from Sunday, all to no avail. I'll work on it in my test forums and catalog the changes and errors.

Did this hack ever get worked out? I was also interested in applying this to 1 of my forums. Thanks

We're using it but the second and all following pages don't alphabetize in continuing order. They flip the alphabetization. For example, page one gives a list like this:

• a
• b
• c
• d
• e
• f
• g
• h
• i
• j

Page two reads like this, repeating those same threads:

• j
• i
• h
• g
• f

And page three:

• d
• c
• b
• a
