Simple mod to allow an admin to have a forum not adhere to the default sorting order for all forums.

The added choices are sorting alphabetically A-Z and Z-A.

Uses are for a forum that is classified ads and they users want to use the subject as a quick way to find what they are looking for.

Database ubbt_FORUMS gets an added field to store this override.

Neat, i like the options.

Sirdude do you think you could do similar but with say
Date slip ?

Where it lists topics by the day they were created
and not by the last post.

Ive just noticed Display Options at the bottom of a forum you can search by "Thread Start Time"

That would be a great addition to this thread smile

Nice smile

I'd like to be able to sort topics by topic-starter too, tho I think that's mostly covered with the ability to see topics started by a member now smile

agreed. well since the patient is on the operating table, the pull-down can have all the sorting options. it's a tinyint in the db, but that more than handles it.

will slam em all in.. and repost with a 7.2 compatible solution.
