I have a content blog section on my site - http://www.birminghamwords.co.uk and I want to reverse the order so the most recent is at the top and the oldest is at the bottom. I need to hack away at something or other, perhaps content.html.php??? But what changes do I need to make? I've done it before, but forgotten how, and now I've updated my core files, I have lost the changes.

Thanks !!!

Will

Almost

It's content.php -> round line 250 you'll find this code:

Code:

 . "\nORDER BY a.sectionid, a.catid, a.ordering ASC"

simply change this to:

Code:

 . "\nORDER BY a.sectionid, a.catid, a.ordering DESC"

I would like to have to newest posts first in some content sections (news section for example).
By the fact i'm a lazy *** I would like the post to be sorted automatically by date descending.
Anyone got some help?

Tkx in advance.
Regards
Chris

Aha! Nice to know I was in the right general area.

Thanks for the tip. Now everything is working perfectly.

Best wishes,

Will

this hasnt worked for my site

the posts are still in chronological order

i want the last posts to be last on the page so the newest news items are at the top.

can anyone suggest what Im doing wrong or something else to try?

moving the articles manually does absolutely nothing
