After using the amazing Web wiz forums, my company has decided that i need to create our own forum.

I am using Dreamweaver MX, with a seperate table for new topics and replies, but i need to sort these into date order on the forum, so new topics are at top, and when replies are made, that topic is then moved to top.

I cant understand how it is done in WebWizforums.

Any help Would be appreciated

The replies table should have a date field that consists of the time the reply was added and the Topics table should have a date field that consists of the time topic was added as well as one that holds the most recent post to that topic.

The most recent post could also be found by running a seperate SQL query or creating a join with the reply table on the most recent posts per topic.

Sort by the date in descending (desc) order.

If your field is called dtePosted then, the statement would end with:
order by dtePosted desc

If you do not have a full grasp of SQL, I would not recommend attempting to write a web forum.
