I just discovered that instead of hitting 'Topic' to sort a forum alphabetially, I can save a link already sorted. :)

But how do I change the link permanently on the forum itself to automatically sort by name?

Do you want all forums or just one?

Just one group of three forums in a category.

I've got the URL posted in a link with the forum address ending with '&sort_by=name', just hoping there's a way of putting that on the forum address for the main link.

Is this a difficult question? Not easy to do?

You might not see Mat for another 6-8 months, he is like that :)

The link is dynamically generated however we could hard code an alternate link at the top to sort in such a matter. Like an alternate button, sort by bla bla.

Does this interest you?

Uh, I wasn't asking Mat, I was asking anybody who knows. :squint: I super appreciate answers from anybody, part of the whole appeal of forums is having pooled knowledge, the more the merrier, but of course an answer from the owner is appreciated.

I guess I'll have to balance the cost with the options. Right now we've got a link that sorts by name in the side menu, have to give a button some thought.

Thanks.

Jim with the right hook haymaker!

I do apologize about my spotty attendance. We have a ton of things going on and try to stop by and help when I can.

Are you wanting this for all members or just you?

Jim possibly allowing users to set their own preference of how posts are ordered in future could be a good feature.

I think a lot of Admins would like the option of how individual forums are ordered, yup.

I keep telling members (by posting pinned instructions, etc) to click on 'topic', they don't get it.

And I'm not sure clicking on a button would be all that much better.

I have three or four forums where I'd like it sorted alphabetically whenever anybody clicks on those forum's URLs.

Somebody had a 'hide forum' option at one point, I'd even explore hiding my 'Library' category/forums and only allow them to be accessed from the side menu or elsewhere, although that's not the preferred way.
