Re-order posts

(1/1)

Redeye:
We use the calendar function but also have a board where we list events.

Is there any way of setting the order of posts so that we can place them in chronological order?

TIA

pulpitfire:
uncheck the show last post first box in admin features?

Redeye:
I think I explained my problem badly.

If I post an event for March 1 today it will be the first post.
If I post an event for March 20 today it will be the second post.
If I post an event for March 10 toay it will be the third post.

What I would like to do is move post 3 into second place to put it in chronological order.

ok...hmm...that would be possible, but may require a bit.  i modified my post.php so it includes a text box for an article summary, and added a column in the message table to accomodate it.  you could add a drop down menu, or text box to Display.php, to allow you to record the date, or order you want them to be sorted in (if it's your calendar board), and then modify the Display.php queries, so it ORDERs first by the contents of that box (if it exists), then by whatever variable it normally sorts by.  You'd also have to modify the modifypost.php to detect and display the info for the box, and update accordingly.  could probably be done in an hour or so.
