2.0 - Topic list sorting

September 20, 2026, 05:07:22 am

When viewing the boards on my site, all the topics are displaying with the latest at bottom.
No matter how I click to view, it still shows last post at bottom.
Even pinned topics are not grouped at top.

Any ideas on what's with this, @Spuds ?

If I recall correctly that was the following bug: in MessageIndex.subs.php around line 130
find:

Code: [Copy]

	$topics = $request->fetch_all();
	$request->free_result();

	return $topics;

replace with

Code: [Copy]

	// Now we fill the above array, maintaining the index order.
	while (($row = $request->fetch_assoc()))
	{
		$topics[$row['id_topic']] = $row;
	}
	$request->free_result();

	return $topics;

Gave me an error:

Unclosed '{' on line 36

EDIT:

I see why, code you said to replace had more than you did:

Code: [Copy]

$topics = $request->fetch_all();
	$request->free_result();
	}

	return $topics;

Means, if I'm not mistaken, I need to do this:

Code: [Copy]

	// Now we fill the above array, maintaining the index order.
	while (($row = $request->fetch_assoc()))
	{
		$topics[$row['id_topic']] = $row;
	}
	$request->free_result();
	}
	return $topics;

And, Great Success!
