In bitcointalk forum, if you go to a board, the default sort behavior is to sort by most recent reply, but sometimes you may want to sort by most recent thread that is created, so that you can view the latest topics easily. It is pretty easy to do so, here is how:
First, go to that board, for example, in Meta board, the URL will be:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=24.0Then, append the following to the end of the board URL to sort by most recent topic that is created:
sort=first_post;desc
Also, do not forget to add ";" after the board URL, so the new URL will become:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=24.0;sort=first_post;descThis way you will be able to view the most recent thread that is created. Some people find it helpful using this code to find the latest announcement in bounty or altcoin board. In the code:
- first_post means sorting by the first post of a certain thread
- desc means sort from newest to oldest
A little more to thread sorting:
1) If you want to view oldest thread first, add:
sort=first_post;asc
or
sort=first_post
Actual URL (for Meta board):
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=24.0;first_post;asc Note: By default it is always sorting by ascending, so it is fine to not put "asc" here.
2) Sort by most replies:
sort=replies;desc
Actual URL (for Meta board):
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=24.0;sort=replies;desc3) Sort by most views:
sort=views;desc
Actual URL (for Meta board):
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=24.0;sort=views;desc4) Sort by thread starter (the author of that thread):
sort=starter
Actual URL (for Meta board):
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=24.0;sort=starter5) Sort by thread subject:
sort=subject
Actual URL (for Meta board):
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=24.0;sort=subject6) The default sorting behavior of the threads is in fact:
sort=last_post;desc
This is because the forum is default to be sort by latest reply, if you try
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=24.0;last_post;desc, you will in fact view the same sorting as
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=24.0.
