Item ordering in a category

How would I make it so that creating a new item in a certain category puts it at the top of the list and not at the end, by default? In other words, when I put in a new item into the announcement category, I would like it to go into the 0 position instead of the number 6 position at the end. This way, newer announcements go to the top of the list by default. screencast.com/t/Iz4BCo9eOEJ

Hello

order the category
- by most recently created
- or by item id (HIGHEST First)

Thank you for reply. That doesn't work unfortunately or I would have done that. Main reason is I need the announcement to show up at top of list by default. And THEN, I need them to be able to re-order them if they so choose, from there. Order by item id or by latest will not let the user order them as they wish. So I want ORDERING to be the sort method. I just want it to show the newest items at top of list. Not bottom. For that category only.

me idea .. use module too display your item in top or bottom of your category..

The ordering settings in the module are same as component. I need them ALL to be in a certain order. Not just 1 at the top.

For joomla, it was so simple. I just edited
/public_html/components/com_content/helpers/query.php

case 'order' :
$orderby = 'a.ordering';

to

case 'order' :
$orderby = 'a.ordering DESC';

Any way to do that with your program? Just a really simple edit?

hello

it is
function
_getOrderByClause()

inside file
components/com_flexicontent/classes/flexicontent.helper.php



also for future version, you may submit a new issue for reverse category ordering, here (we moved to GitHub recently, there will be official announcement in this web-site soon):
github.com/FLEXIcontent/flexicontent-cck/issues

i will accept new issue and mark it as enhancement
