Ok I added a column to my postlist.php called Version and I did what I thought looked like ti would work. But for some reason the sorters don't work The sort for the Version column dosen't work and the rating sort sorts the version column?!

That's a bit involved. Not too difficult but more than I can summarize verbally. Best clue is to look at the array where the sort is handled.

Under this:
// -------------------------
// Set up some sorting stuff
if ($sb == 1) {


You'll need to setup two new $sb numbers for each field. Ascending/decending.

Under this:

// ---------------------
// Set some sorting opts

give each sort option a variable name - use the odd number that you added above.

Under this:

// -----------------------------------------------
// Make sure we are giving the proper sort options
if ($sb == 1) {
$sortsubject = 2;
} else {
$sortsubject = 1;


Add whatever variable you used int he previous section so the option properly gets "switched" when clicked.


Then there are 2 parts like this:
$sort_opt = array(

Add your options and your query code there. Add 2 lines, one for Ascending and 2 for descending.


That should cover it. Make sure you've modified each of those areas and you should be fine.

Ahhh. I got it.... I forgot to change a variable $sortversion.
