Place New Posts Together at the Top?
![njjel](http://hrforms.blr.com/plugins/DefaultAvatars/design/RedAvatar.jpg)
If I may, would it be possible to keep all of the new posts (by new I mean a new question posted rather than a new response to an older posting) together at the top of the list rather than dispersed throughout the entire list? I almost always check the forum on a daily basis and when I'm pressed for time, it would sure speed things up if the new posts were listed first. Thanks for the consideration. By the way, the forum is providing a great service to many! It sure is appreciated by this member!

What you want to do is sort the messages by their "Topic ID." Here's how:
1. Go to the list of messages in a conference (e.g., "How to Use Employers Forum").
2. Above the list is a tiny link that says "Expand topics." Click on it and wait a minute. Now you'll see the same list of messages, along with a list of all the replies. This isn't exactly what you want, but we're getting closer.
3. At the top of the list of messages, you'll see this:
"Sort Topics by..... Topic ID | Discussion Topic" etc.
Click on "Topic ID." That will rearrange the list the way you want it - based on the date and time of the original question.
4. If you don't want the expanded list (including all the replies), go to the top and click on "Collapse threads." That will give you the familiar list of messages, sorted exactly the way you asked for.
Footnote: If you collapse the threads, the list of messages won't tell you the date and time of the original messages, even though that's the way they're sorted. (The "Date/Time" column refers to newest REPLY, same as it always does.)
If you decide you don't want this after all, click on "Date/Time".
