How to sort posts in a board?

For instance, order by the OP datetime, rather than last reply datetime?

Created userscript to add button for sorting.

How do you use this script? Can you give an example of how to utilize it?

For some reason if you try to do this on android, it won't work, at least from what I tried in Chrome. Can't get to the sorted page.

you mean like this?
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=1.0;sort=first_post;asc

just add a ";sort=first_post;desc" (or ;asc) after board=x.x.

It works! Thanks a lot =--Encrypted--, also to those who replied.

It seems when there is only one page in the thread it shows the date of the last post in the results which make it appear to be out of order but if you open the thread, the order is correct based on the date of the first post.

Regardless of how you sort it and the number of pages in the thread, the last column will always show the time and date of the last post and the username of the person who made it.

How did you figure this out?

Works.

Reference:

Quote

By default, SMF sorts threads in boards by the date & time of the last post made. This modification allows the administrator to set up new possibilities for sort methods, on a board by board basis:

- Last post - default
- Started by
- Replies
- Views
- First post
- Subject

Each can also be sorted in ascending or descending order.

These settings by the administrator are default only. Users can change them on a time-by-time basis.

There is no way to do this at the user level. You can kind of do a work-around and use the search feature selecting only one board, searching for something very common and selecting "oldest post first" for the sort method but I'm pretty sure you will miss some of the posts.
