Hi,

I use 7.7.5

All my forums are sorted the same way, in
CP>> Content >> Forums >>

Default Sort Field And Direction
Posts will be ordered by this field and in this direction. >> Last Post Time >> Descending

It gives original post and reply 1 and reply 2 shows below in turns.

Today I changed one forum to >> Last Post Time >> Ascending but it still sort the same way
I also tested to set to >> Topic Start Time >> Ascending and Descending with no different result.

Tested Safari and Chrome

Could I be doing something wrong?
Do I need to clear Cache or Rebuild counts?
I looked at old threads and created new all with same result.

My need is following.
In one forum/board I wish to Post an original thread that should stay at the top and the new replies should show direct after the original post.
is that possible

This forum
https://www.britbike.com/forums/ubbthreads.php/forums/13/1/news-announcements
is set to >> Last Post Time >> Ascending

all others are set to >> Last Post Time >> descending

Hope you understand my explanation 😅

When making the change in the CP, you are setting the defaults for that forum for guests and members who have not set their preference yet. Each forum allows the user to set their own sort preference (Category Display Options) for that forum, which overrides the defaults. Screenshot from the area below the post. Ordering can also be sorted by clicking on each column's title.

Hi Isaac,

I see what you are saying and that works when you look at a forum and all the threads

What I was thinking about was when you chose to look inside a thread you see the posts within the thread.
They are shown from top to bottom in turn as they are posted.
Could that turn be altered?
Like this, the original post stays at the top and each new post/reply comes just below the original.
it would be like this

- Original post
- 1st reply

- Original post
- 2st reply
- 1st reply

- Original post
- 3st reply
- 2st reply
- 1st reply

- Original post
- 4tht reply
- 3st reply
- 2st reply
- 1st reply

So you see all new replies just under the original post.

Could this be done? If so what are the setting?
Thank you

I get it Morgan,
Make the topic a sticky per say and all replies after it so that even at page 20 of replies and OP is still there staring you in the face.
Might help reduce topic drift

Yes Ruben,
I did not get the whole distance here. My aim was to sort the replies within a thread in a special forum. not the actual forum threads.

Still thanks for your replies.
cheers
