paul secor Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 I know this is more than a little obsessive/anal retentive/ fussy/whatever, but whenever I run down the list of Forums, all of them are in alphabetical order except that Mosaic and other box sets is listed before Miscellaneous music. Can a moderator set this straight? I Know noticing this shows that I obviously spend more time here than I should, and I know that there will probably be a number of clever responses from folks who also spend more time here than they should.

7/4 Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 When you're looking at an individual forum, go to the bottom of the page and look at the forum options. You can tweak it there. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claude Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 Weird. I always thought the rather "illogical" order of subforums was due to the fact that it was automatically sorted alphabetically, but apparently it is sorted manually.

Claude Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 This will change the display order of topics within a subforum, but not the order of subfora on the main page. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7/4 Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 This will change the display order of topics within a subforum, but not the order of subfora on the main page. If you're referring to "view new posts" or "today's active topics", they're sorted by latest post of course - a specialized query and sort.

Claude Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 No, Paul's question is about the list of Forums on the main page only: whenever I run down the list of Forums, all of them are in alphabetical order except that Mosaic and other box sets is listed before Miscellaneous music.

Ah, I see. In that case I'll agree with him. It's more than a little obsessive/anal retentive/ fussy/whatever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. That's what I meant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Alfredson Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 But Paul, what would I have left to annoy you with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul secor Posted April 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 (edited) But Paul, what would I have left to annoy you with? Yeah - I guess if that's my biggest complaint, I have no problems here. edit: I'm reminded of the story about Nellie Monk straightening framed pictures on the wall. Finally Monk purposely put up a picture at an angle, and nailed it to the wall that way, so Nellie couldn't straighten it. There's a lesson there.
