add an option to arrange thread list by "thread added"

[sharky206]

hi, i would like to suggest another option for arranging the thread list.
sometimes, i would like to watch the newest thread added, and not the newest post added.
i think it will be very usefull.
i hope the rest feel the same, and i hope this is not something difficult to perfome.



i thought that maybe someone suggest this before me, but i didn't find similar threads.
thanks for your listening.

Yeah, simply use dateline in your sort field.

To sort by ascending order for dateline: ?sort=dateline&order=asc

To sort by descending order for dateline: ?sort=dateline&order=desc

For example, to sort the suggestion section by thread start date in descending order, paste this into your URL bar:

http://www.torrent-invites.com/suggestions/?sort=dateline&order=desc

You could also replace dateline with the following sorting descriptors:

title
lastpost
replycount
views
postusername
voteavg

Then bookmark it into your bookmarks tabs or, perhaps, another staff may want to add it into the coding if they feel it's necessary.

ok, thanks alot i managed to do that.
but i have to say that still it will be more convenient if there was a button for this.
then i wont have to bookmark so many pages\write this line every time.

Very useful...

Would it be possible to place a Javascript like Menu option at the top root of each section? Kinda like something similar to the below?



Would think you could easily do two....one for the sort type and the other for the direction. Just a thought.
