Forum Topic Displaying

Post by MisterE »

Hi,

I seem to be having issues getting the sort function to work as expected. Ideally, when visiting the EDrumin forum, I would like to do a sort such that all topics with a recent posts appear at the top in descending order, based on the last post added to any given topic. I assume many of us are looking for that same functionality. Go to the forum and see what's ben most recently posted and scroll down do dive into earlier posts.

I have done the sort using the "descending" option, but it doesn't sort as expected. See attachments. One shows the settings I assigned to do a sort. The second is what is displayed after that sort. As you can see there are a mixture of posting dates and it's not sorted in descending order.

Am I doing something wrong? I'm sure it's something simple.

Thanks!

Looks correct to me. The topics at the top are 'Sticky' post that stay at the top. Perhaps I can remove some of them as they aren't so important anymore.

Aha, I was out of the loop for awhile. So the lightbulb-shaped icon designates the stickies. Below those, the topics are properly sorted.

Thanks for the quick reply, Rob!
