Alphabetical listing in Sections?

As I get more and more articles in my sections module, I could really do with the articles being listed alphabetically as this would allow for easier use, and I could also group my articles together. (So I'm talking about pages such as this).

Can anyone help me out with this?

Edit Xoops_root/modules/sections/index.php and around about line 93 you should see this line:

$xoopsDB->queryF("UPDATE ".$xoopsDB->prefix("seccont")." SET counter=counter+1 WHERE artid=$artid");

edit this to:

$result = $xoopsDB->query("SELECT artid, secid, title, content, counter FROM ".$xoopsDB->prefix("seccont")." WHERE artid=$artid ORDER BY title ASC");

I would also suggest using another sections type module as this one is rather dated now.

Hmmm that doesn't seem to have worked. I tried deleting a few of the articles before putting them back in but still no joy.

Whoops, my mistook!! lol

Should have been line 72:

$result = $xoopsDB->query("SELECT artid, secid, title, content, counter FROM ".$xoopsDB->prefix("seccont")." WHERE secid=$secid");

to:

$result = $xoopsDB->query("SELECT artid, secid, title, content, counter FROM ".$xoopsDB->prefix("seccont")." WHERE secid=$secid ORDER BY title ASC");

Sorry lol

No worries, I really appreciate your help. There is one last thing though, I'd simply like to get rid of the 'times read' text and the print icon on the same page, if you could help me out there. I've tried code cutting myself but can't seem to get it quite right.

I this deleting this line: (around line 80) printf(" (read: %s times)",$counter); should do the trick.

Hi
I want to do a similar thing, and have been playing around with the code, but couldn't get it to do what I want:

I just want my articles to be sorted on the date they where added, newest on top.

Any idea how I would get this to work?
