Is it possible to sort forum search results by date
lazarus / 8-Other

Hello,

When I search (using the search feature) for some word in the forums,
the resulting list is not in chronological order (the post date can
vary by years from one entry to the next.)

Is there a way to tell the search feature to show the results sorted
from most recent at the top to oldest at the bottom ?

Thanks.

While I'm here asking questions, is there a way to search for posts
that have attachments ?

Thanks again.

I have found a similar request, but it seems it won't be
implemented...
"Locate attachment in files" or a "Search attachments" mod

Yes, that's it.  I missed the elephant in the room ... LOL.

Thanks.  At least I didn't miss the obvious again.. hopefully, they
will implement that sometime.
