UBB.threads PHP Forum Software Community Forums Resources and Customizing How Do I? TIP: Changing default sort in User List

I wanted the User List to default by # of Posts rather than User Name, and found it to be quite easy to adjust. You can have Threads sort the User List by any column by default by changing just one number, as such:

In /scripts/showmembers.inc.php

On or Near Line 82, Find:

Change the number "1" to whichever you prefer from below. The bold ones make the most sense to me, with "8" being my preference:

1 = Sort by Display Name (ascending, #-A-Z) [default]
2 = Sort by Display Name (descending, Z-A-#)
3 = Sort by Status (ascending: Admin, Mods, then Users)
4 = Sort by Status (descending; worthless)
5 = Sort by Homepage (descending; worthless)
6 = Sort by Homepage (descending; users with home pages first)
7 = Sort by Total Posts (ascending; zero posts first)
8 = Sort by Total Posts (descending; Most to Least)
9 = Sort by Registration Date (earliest first)
10 = Sort by Registration Date (newest first)
11 = Sort by Avatar (ascending; worthless)
12 = Sort by Avatar (descending; worthless)

Now when someone clicks on the User List, it'll default to however you prefer.

Excellent i would use that.

As i found it a pain too the default

Great tip

I like 8 and 3 myself; good find
