Hi,
Is it possible to reverse the posting order whereby newest post shows first, to save scrolling to bottom of page?<

I tried your suggestion, but it isn't exactly what I wanted. I want to sort the Topic.asp pages DESC

should be line 331:
strSql4 = " ORDER BY R.R_DATE ASC"

change to

should be line 331:
strSql4 = " ORDER BY R.R_DATE DESC"

but the initial post is first then the last - which is a bit confusing.<

Swn-Y-Mor
Did you find a solution to this problem? I made the exact same change to the code before searching for it on the forum. I am getting the same format. The newest post first and then the first post and so on. Please let me know if you fond some answer to this problem. Thanks

You will get the opening post first because of this code :

Code:

	if mypage = 1 then 
Call GetFirst()
end if

You need to move it, but I'm not sure where, I would guess ...

- delete the code (above)
- find this code :

Code:

			if intI = 2 then 
intI = 0
end if
next
end if

- Change it to this :

Code:

			if intI = 2 then 
intI = 0
end if
next
if mypage = maxpages then
Call GetFirst()
end if
end if

That MIGHT work, but I didn't test it.<

That does not work because if you have more than one page, it will put the first post on the bottom of the first page only. I'm not sure how to get around that. Any ideas?<

Would a moderator please move this to one of the Mod forums? I think it fits there.<

This hasn't been tested thoroughly, but I replaced the code with this and it seems to work:

As the poster above said, first remove this code:
Code:

	if mypage = 1 then 
Call GetFirst()
end if
Then find this code:
Code:

			if intI = 2 then 
intI = 0
end if
next
end if

Then replace with this code:
Code:

			if intI = 2 then 
intI = 0
end if
next
if mypage = maxpages then
Call GetFirst()
end if
end if
if maxpages = "" then
Call GetFirst()
end if
Please post your comments. Although this is working for now, I think there is a lot of room here for mistakes.<
