I'm using the forum to post information and documentation so I want to sort alphabetically not by date. Would it be possible to change the code somewhere to make this happen?

Thanks,

Aaron

firstly congratulations on having a great first name...

lol (im also Aaron)

anyway to your question

yes it is possible if you are using access then all you have to do is look for the section/query that brings in the topics and change where it says ORDERBY tblTopics.post_date (example)

to Subject ASC;

changing post_date only.

if SQL server you need to edit the store procedure that is on the SQL server... but it is the same as above but there instead.

Thanks Aaron. It worked great.

I found it in forum_topics.asp in line 340 (version 7.9) and changed strDbTable & "Topic.Last_entry_date DESC;" to strDbTable & "Topic.Subject ASC;"

You're the man. Thanks for the quick reply.

Aaron
