    Posted: 29 March 2007 at 1:00pm

Did a quick search, but couldn't find an answer - lots of requests, but no answers.

How do I go about changing the default sort order for members.asp?
 
For example, at the moment it sorts by Username when you access the page, but I'd like it to be sorting by Post Count (highest first), instead.
 
Cheers!

Oli, change line 119 (after the 'case else' on line 118) from 
 
 strSortBy = strDbTable & "Author.Username "

to

strSortBy = strDbTable & "Author.No_of_posts "

Oh and you might also want to change lines 122 on to get the default sort order right.
 
From:
  


'Sort the direction of db results


If Request.QueryString("OB") = "desc" Then


strSortDirection = "asc"


strSortBy = strSortBy & "DESC"


Else


strSortDirection = "desc"


strSortBy = strSortBy & "ASC"


End If

to
 
'Sort the direction of db results

If Request.QueryString("OB") = "asc" Then




strSortDirection = "desc"


strSortBy = strSortBy & "ASC"


Else




strSortDirection = "asc"


strSortBy = strSortBy & "DESC"


End If

And hopefully, the last change, around line 370-376, replace with:
[code]

<table cellspacing="1" cellpadding="3" class="tableBorder" align="center">

<tr class="tableLedger">

<td width="20%"><a href="members.asp?SF=<% = Server.URLEncode(Request.QueryString("SF")) %>&GID=<% = intGetGroupID %>&SO=UN<% = strQsSID2 %>"><% = strTxtUsername %></a><% If Request.QueryString("SO") = "UN" Then Response.Write(" <a href=""members.asp?SF=" & Server.URLEncode(Request.QueryString("SF")) & "&GID=" & intGetGroupID & "&SO=UN&OB=" & strSortDirection & strQsSID2 & """><img src=""" & strImagePath & strSortDirection & ".gif"" border=""0"" align=""absmiddle"" alt=""" & strTxtReverseSortOrder & """ /></a>") %></td>

<td width="20%"><a href="members.asp?SF=<% = Server.URLEncode(Request.QueryString("SF")) %>&GID=<% = intGetGroupID %>&SO=GP<% = strQsSID2 %>"><% = strTxtType %></a><% If Request.QueryString("SO") = "GP" Then Response.Write(" <a href=""members.asp?SF=" & Server.URLEncode(Request.QueryString("SF")) & "&GID=" & intGetGroupID & "&SO=GP&OB=" & strSortDirection & strQsSID2 & """><img src=""" & strImagePath & strSortDirection & ".gif"" border=""0"" align=""absmiddle"" alt=""" & strTxtReverseSortOrder &

Just found that your first change also needed a line adding, otherwise sorting by username didn't work correctly;
 
'Get the sort critiria
Select Case Request.QueryString("SO")
 Case "PT"
  strSortBy = strDbTable & "Author.No_of_posts "
 Case "LU"
  strSortBy = strDbTable & "Author.Join_date "
 Case "OU"
  strSortBy = strDbTable & "Author.Join_date "
 Case "GP"
  strSortBy = strDbTable & "Group.Name "
 Case "LA"
  strSortBy = strDbTable & "Author.Last_visit "
 Case "UN"
  strSortBy = strDbTable & "Author.Username "
 Case Else
  strSortBy = strDbTable & "Author.No_of_posts "
End Select

Another way to accomplish this is to simply change the link to the members list at the top pf the page.
 
 
It used to be:
 
I changed it to:
which you will notice is the URL produced when you sort by posts by clicking on column headings to sort.
 
I added the trailing & just in case WWF tacked on a session ID for those without cookies, otherwise it would break for them.
 
Changing the link to the members page accomplishes the same thing.
 
I wish this sort order was the default and I didn't have to change it every time I upgrade.
