In other words - you want to sort the posts based on the original post date/time and ignore the dates of all replies?


You still haven't answrered my first question.
WHERE are you trying to do thise sort?

Sorry to butt in Kindred, but maybe they're talking about the post order in a topic. If so, in your profile in the look and layout section you can choose to show most recent posts first or oldest posts first. If not, then answer Kindred's question already. :D

no problem - if someone understands something that I missed, by all means, jump in , lest I waste more time trying to figure out what these users are trying to do now. :P
