I'm a Long Time Lurker that just can't get enough of xoops. Usually I have no trouble finding answers to my question, but I just can't seem to get through this problem.

Two questions - First, in the web links section of my XOOPS site, I need to have them sorted by date by default. I always want the newest links displayed first - ALWAYS. In all catergories all the time. Right now, they're always sorted by title. I also want to completely eliminate the "sort by title" option. I know I probably can't eliminate it completely - if someone where to enter in the correct query string (viewcat.php?cid=3&orderby=titleD) - but i want to eliminate the user option.

Question two - on the main page of links - it lists the newest links - and it lists all the different categories at the top. I want to do two things - First I want to move the catergories listing to the bottom (which I'm sure I can do through the template, but just haven't looked yet), and more importantly, I want to create a block of catergories in the left block. (I'm also sure I can do this with static url "mylinks/viewcat.php?cid=4" placement in a customized block - But it would be far easier to have it done like the category listing on the main link page so I didn't have to manually enter html code into the block everytime I added a catergory.

whew. any suggestions on how to make my life easier???

If there's a module that's better than the default - please let me know.

One last question that's already been answered I'm sure - but the default module directory structure is "modules/mylinks/viewcat.php?cid=7" where the 'mylinks' in the url is the module. If I simply rename the directory from 'mylinks' to 'monkey' BEFORE installing the module, will the url show as "modules/monkey/viewcat.php?cid=7" - or will renaming the directory cause trouble with the programming of the module???

Thanks very muchly.
