Change data entry order - last entry on top
« on: November 15, 2010, 10:03:14 PM »
Robert,

Is it possible to change the order of the data to be viewed so that the last entry on a subject comes up first, then we can backtrack as needed?  As some of these files get larger it gets more cumbersome to scroll down through the pages.  Or possibly give us an order choice.

Just a thought

I agree and think this is a good request. It will not speed up the total post but at least the most current will be there quicker.
there is an old computer term for this.  Last in/First out.  we used that years ago in software, and may still be in working order today.
Robert needs some work as he doesnt have enought to do.  lol.

Elvis,
Go to your Profile, than select “Modify Profile” (near the upper left corner of the page) and select “Look and Layout”.  When the page changes one of the options that you can check is “Show most recent posts at the top” which should get you what you want.

greg, I am thinking that shows the posting(s) in date order with latest at the top. It did not change the  order of entry in the actual post.  Unless I did something wrong when I tried it.

When I enter a subject from the homepage, my browser automatically takes me to the bottom of the thread with the most recent entry displayed.  I have to scroll up to see older entries.
Not sure why mine is working different.

OK, mine now has the last entry on the top and descends in date/time order.  I rechanged the setting the profile look and layout to have the box checked.

From the HOME page or Portal, it is showing recent or new post and takes you directly the latest post. 

If you are in the FORUM pages, you can browse the categories and when you click the link it takes you to the first post in the topic.  If you click the "New" button, it takes you to the latest post that you havent read.  So if you havent read any of the post before, it goes to the first one.

Hope that helps.
