Not without writing custom code to show the comments manually.

Is it possible to have links to optionally sort by rating or views, like you can with categories?

I've implemented the category links as described here.
So I also tried to do the same thing with the $orderby variable by creating links like so:

Code:

<p>Sort by
<a href="../html/n-13_news.php?orderby=rating">rating</a>
or
<a href="../html/n-13_news.php?orderby=views">views</a></p>

And then embedded the script like so:

Code:

<?php
$orderby[]=$_GET['orderby'];
$cat[]=$_GET['cat'];
include '../../n13news/index.php';
?>

Should this work? Or am I :blink:

?

Thanks,

(P.S. This is not a request for a code change -- just want to see what this baby can do. :smile:

This could work, if you wanted to let users change the sort order and select a category your links would need to be altered slightly like so

Code:


<p>Sort by
<a href="../html/n-13_news.php?orderby=rating&cat=cat1">rating</a>
or
<a href="../html/n-13_news.php?orderby=views&cat=cat2">views</a></p>
