no - at the moment mine adds alphabetically, rather than with new at the top. Is it possible to change this? where?

Look for the following variable in your links.def file:

# Field number to sort links by:
$db_sort_links

You will need to set that variable to the field number of your isNew field....

like the following:

$db_sort_links = 8;

Change 8 to the field number that you have for isNew field.

If that doesn't work, then you'll need to edit the sub build_sorthit in the db_utils.pl file. Search this forum for build_sorthit and you should find relevant threads.

Buh Bye!

thanks Stealth - that seems to organise by new/date but it doesn't put the newest to the front, but to the back.

Is there anyway to get the new links to the top of a first page?
