Can I change the order of posts?
You have three choices over how you view threads:
Linear Mode - posts are displayed chronologically. Posts are shown in a flat mode so that many posts can be viewed simultaneously.
Threaded Mode - a tree is shown along with every post. This shows you the relationship each post has to the others. It's easy to see who responded to whom. Only one post is shown at a time. By clicking on a single post in the post tree, the page will show that post and all posts made in response to it.
Hybrid Mode - This is a mixture of the linear and threaded modes. The post tree is displayed as in the threaded mode, but many posts are shown at the same time as in the linear modes.
It is possible to change the ordering by changing your preferences in the User CP (Control Panel). You may set the default thread display mode by left-clicking on the "User CP" option on the main navigation bar at the top of the page. You'll then see a menu which runs vertially along the left edge. Scroll down to the "Settings & Options" group, and left-click on "Edit Options".
Scroll down this new page to the section titled "Thread Display Options". You'll see a number of attributes which you can set to your liking, including the manner and order in which threads are displayed. Save your changes when done.
That sets the default view. When you're in a thread, look at the top bar. On the right-hand side, you'll see "Display Mode". Left-click on this, and you may change how posts for that particular thread are ordered.
