It looks like forums are ordered by forum ID ascending?

There is no way to change that? to make them use the order used on the SMF forum setup, for example?

(to order them by "hand")

[feline]

SubForums do nothing about sorting any content, categories or board.
The one and only what we do is to manipulate the SFM db queries like:
WHERE id_cat IN (list of cat id's)
or
WHERE id_board IN (list of board id's)
We don't modify the order of any.

Mmmmm, but something is happening... look at this screenshot, it shows 1 category on public boardindex:



And this one, showing the smf forum admin of that category (look at the "hand ordering")

Yeah .. I see that also on my test sytem .. Hmm .. I have to check that, stand by

Well .. I found the problem and have a Fix 

In the file Sources/Subs-BoardIndex.php find (~ line 64)

Code: [Select]

WHERE {query_see_board}' . (empty($boardIndexOptions['countChildPosts']) ? (empty($boardIndexOptions['base_level']) ? '' : '
AND b.child_level >= {int:child_level}') : '
AND b.child_level BETWEEN ' . $boardIndexOptions['base_level'] . ' AND ' . ($boardIndexOptions['base_level'] + 1)),
array(
'current_member' => $user_info['id'],
'child_level' => $boardIndexOptions['base_level'],
'blank_string' => '',
)

Replace with:

Code: [Select]

WHERE {query_see_board}' . (empty($boardIndexOptions['countChildPosts']) ? (empty($boardIndexOptions['base_level']) ? '' : '
AND b.child_level >= {int:child_level}') : '
AND b.child_level BETWEEN ' . $boardIndexOptions['base_level'] . ' AND ' . ($boardIndexOptions['base_level'] + 1)) .'
'. (isset($modSettings['subforums'][$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']]) ? 'ORDER BY b.board_order' : ''),
array(
'current_member' => $user_info['id'],
'child_level' => $boardIndexOptions['base_level'],
'blank_string' => '',
)
Now the board oder is correct ...

Now the board oder is correct ...

Great stuff. I just noticed this problem (i.e. categories in wrong order) on my my two subforums, but this fix worked perfectly.
