I'm not sure if this is possible

I want to be able to sort links in a specific category by a specific field

lets say my category is news so when links are added it will be sorted by the add_date field only

I know this is done in the setup menu, build options, build_sort_order section
But I want to be able to do this outside that because I have the rest of the site sorted differently

Is this possible?

I think I can do this with loops but cant remember how

All help is appreciated

Thanks

It's not optimal, but you can do:
search.cgi?query=*&sb=Add_Date&so=DESC&catid=XX
where XX is the category ID# for the category you want.
