Sort posts by originator?

[Tannahill]

Is there a way to sort forum posts by originators date instead of last post date?

No; this (IMO, useful) feature was removed from Fusetalk in their last 'upgrade'. If you search you can probably find several long threads about it in this forum.

Thanks. I tried to search for this but the search feature leaves much to be desired also.

I like the last post sorting (real handy in forsale/trade and hot deals). Unfortunately this is not happening at the moment. It appears that results of any keyword search are in random order. Any way to make it sort by last post again?

Go to the advanced search page and check the box for "Order search results by date." That should do it until you clear cookies or search while logged out.

Allisolm,

That works for advanced searches. The "quick" keyword search at the top of each forum page does not give that option. Until recently, that search would give the results in order by last post.

If you check that option in advanced search it should transfer over to the quick search as well, it has for me anyway.

Edit: spelling

According to this, sorting options are now a feature in the ColdFusion version of FuseTalk. The .NET version (which this forum runs on) is scheduled to be released in "Q2 2006". Let's hope we will get that feature one day.

Meanwhile, there is this.
