reverse post order

[zmaroti]

Would be nice if the reverse post order would get into 0.9. It needs actually two modifications in the core files:

/topic.php line 21

$posts = get_thread( $topic_id, $page );

change to

$posts = get_thread( $topic_id, $page, true );

and

bb-includes/template-functions.php line 720

get_page_number( $topic->topic_posts );

change to

$page = 1;

If it would be a conditional choice and user could set it in his profile it would do great help for us. Since many of my friends prefer the reverse order (we use another forum where there is one main topic and zillions of posts on like 100 pages, and on bbpress always hitting the jump to last post button when you jump to your favourite topic is bad for many of us).

Reverse post order potentially affects all sorts of things like paging and permalink structures. This is actually not easy when you care about those sorts of things.

get_thread() has a reversing argument now. I haven't looked up when this snuck in, but this can be closed now.
