Buddy Press forum is displaying user posts in discussion topics, by showing the oldest posts first. I would like to display the newest, latest user posts on any topic first. It doesn’t make sence to see posts from 3 months ago shown on top and having to scroll down to search for the most recent posts.

I checked Word Press documentation and tried to override the posts ORDER BY to change from DESC to ASC, but it keeps on displaying the oldest posts first, so seems like BB Press is overriding it with its own internal functions.

If anybody had the same problem before and found a solution, I would greatly appreciate your help,

@mustangus default behavior is displaying the newest/latest posts on any topic first in either the
group forums e.g. http://testbp.org/forums
or the sitewide forums e.g. http://testbp.org/discussion/

Which of the two kinds are you referring to?

Hi @Mercime, thank you so much for your reply. The most relevant example from both examples that you put in your e-mail is: http://testbp.org/groups/the-mr-topp-group/forum/topic/my-hat-is-awesome/
The posts are organized in a way that the oldest posts are on top and to see the newest posts you have to scroll down, sometimes for many pages if number of posts are big. What I am trying to find out is how to change the order of the posts to display new posts on top and old ones could go on the bottom. I’ve done a lot of research in the past 2 weeks and changed SQL values in WordPress to ASC but it does not seem to work. Seems like something in Buddy Press in overriding. Many thanks for your reply
