Order By Search/Tags?

[davemackey]

I noticed that when one performs a search or clicks on a tag, the results are automatically sorted oldest to newest. I want this to be the reverse. So I opened up libs/search.php and found this code:

PHP Code:

if(isset($this->orderBy)){
            if(strpos($this->orderBy, "RDER BY") != 1){
                $this->orderBy = "ORDER BY " . $this->orderBy;
            }
        } 


I then added an else clause like this:

PHP Code:

        if(isset($this->orderBy)){
            if(strpos($this->orderBy, "RDER BY") != 1){
                $this->orderBy = "ORDER BY " . $this->orderBy;
            }
        }else{
            // Add a default order by clause, newest to oldest.
                $this->orderBy = "ORDER BY link_published_date DESC";
        } 


But it still sorts oldest to newest. Any ideas why this clause isn't taking effect?

Hi Dave

Someone brought this up before. I also think they posted a solution, although I can't seem to find it at the moment. I'll dig around a bit and see if I can't find it and post it here in this thread.

Thanks. Appreciate it. I've been surfing around the forums for it as well, but not too much luck.

Nice I just tried it seems to be fine

[davemackey]

Great. Thanks guys. I used that code and it worked, though I'm still wondering why my code didn't work. I set an else condition that should have essentially always triggered but it doesn't seem to, or was overridden by something else. Well, thanks!
David.
