I was wondering if there is a way to change the default way topics are displayed.

Right now the default is to show topics in the following order:
LAST POST TIME DESCENDING ALL OPEN TOPICS

I would like to know how to change this default to:
TOPIC TITLE ASCENDING ALL OPEN TOPICS

Thank you very much.

Is this what you are looking for?

http://forum.snitz.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=60954&SearchTerms=TOPIC,DISPLAY,ORDER

Or the actual topics themselves?

That is not exactly what I am looking for, but thank you for pointing that out. What I really need is to edit the Snitz code to change the default display setting as indicated in my original post.

When someone clicks on a forum, I want the resulting topics to be displayed by default in order of:
TOPIC TITLE ASCENDING ALL OPEN TOPICS

Thanks, again.

You can choose which topics are displayed by default by editing the properties of the forum.

To change the sort order, find the following on line 66 of forum.asp:
Select Case strtopicsortord
	Case "asc"
		strSortOrd = " ASC"
	Case Else
		strSortOrd = " DESC"
		strtopicsortord = "desc"
End Select

Select Case strtopicsortfld
	Case "topic"
		strSortCol = "T_SUBJECT" & strSortOrd
	Case "author"
		strSortCol = "M_NAME" & strSortOrd
	Case "replies"
		strSortCol = "T_REPLIES" & strSortOrd
	Case "views"
		strSortCol = "T_VIEW_COUNT" & strSortOrd
	Case "lastpost"
		strSortCol = "T_LAST_POST" & strSortOrd
	Case Else
		strtopicsortfld = "lastpost"
		strSortCol = "T_LAST_POST" & strSortOrd
End Select

And replace it with the following:
Select Case strtopicsortord
	Case "desc"
		strSortOrd = " DESC"
	Case Else
		strSortOrd = " ASC"
		strtopicsortord = "asc"
End Select

Select Case strtopicsortfld
	Case "topic"
		strSortCol = "T_SUBJECT" & strSortOrd
	Case "author"
		strSortCol = "M_NAME" & strSortOrd
	Case "replies"
		strSortCol = "T_REPLIES" & strSortOrd
	Case "views"
		strSortCol = "T_VIEW_COUNT" & strSortOrd
	Case "lastpost"
		strSortCol = "T_LAST_POST" & strSortOrd
	Case Else
		strtopicsortfld = "topic"
		strSortCol = "T_SUBJECT" & strSortOrd
End Select

Shaggy,

If I edit and code this out will all 50 of my topic area's be reordered? What if I only want 10 of the topic area's ordered ascending and the other 40 descending? Is there a way to isolate a particular forum and reverse the order for that forum only?

Purpose would be to post say an amber alert in a specific forum and have the most current alert at the top of the topic. Does that make sense?

Thanks

I installed the http://forum.snitz.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=60954&SearchTerms=TOPIC,DISPLAY,ORDER
sort order mod and it works fairly the way I want it. What I wanted to know if I can have some forums sorted latest post first in one area and other forums sorted newest post first. They would have to be defaulted that way. I've got to figure out if our Amber Alerts can be posted and sorted newest post first.

That's the way topics are sorted by default ...
