Discussion Threads - Sorting

[FedBrad]

Posting don't appear to be in any sort of logical order. Is it possible to
incorporate a feature that would enable a user/visitor to sort the threads
displayed in either ascending/descending order, based on the date of the
original posting?

Thanks

Fred,
here is some info previously posted on this newsgroup.
It is much easier if you use a news reader program. Outlook Express can do
it. That way you can sort by date, thread things together, mark your own
messages, and so on. To set this up in Outlook Express 6:
1. Choose Accounts on the Tools menu.
2. Click the Add button, and the News flyout.
3. Enter the name you wish to use, and click Next.
4. Enter a fake email address, such as:
(e-mail address removed)
and click Next. (Be sure to use a fake address so the spambots cannot
harvest your real one.)
5. Enter the news server:
news.microsoft.com
and click Next.
6. In the Folder List (left pane), right-click news.microsoft.com, and
choose Newsgroups.
7. Locate the groups that contain "access", and subscribe to the ones you
are interested in.

If you're a heavy user of the Microsoft newsgroups, be aware that they are
NOT just the webpage. Most of the volunteers, and many others, don't use the
web interface at all; instead you can use a NNTP newsreader such as Outlook
Express or Agent to connect directly to the newsgroups (at
msnews.microsoft.com for the news server). Newsreader software is much
faster, cleaner, and lets you print easily...
http://groups.google.com has an "Advanced Search" option. It maintains an
archive of (essentially) all the messages ever posted to some tens
of thousands of newsgroups, including the Microsoft Access technical support
newsgroup microsoft.public.access. Or, use a newsreader such as Outlook
Express, Agent, or any of dozens of others to read the messages in this (or
other) newsgroups.
