Hi, just playing around with the forums in a DNN installation. Was wondering what the different options are for sorting the posts? I can see in Admin -> Forum -> Edit there is a sort order which is a number. What does this number refer to? Am I able to sort posts by popularity?

There are no sorting options for posts. The sort order for forums you mentioned define the sort order for the forums in the forum main page.

Thanks. Can you point me in the right direction as to what to change for the order posts are returned in? Is it a stored proc or linq? Where can I find it? One of the main requirements I'm looking for and I'm happy to make whatever changes. I couldn't find what to change myself after looking around for ages! Thanks.

Look out for the order by its always sorted by LastPosted or Posted column you would need to change it to Views
