Okay, I have my asbestos pants on, flame away: I'm building a new GeekLog site and one of the annoyances I have is that as I add new 'Topics', I have to supply a sort order. I think it is a great idea to be able to overload the sort order but, for someone like me who is old and feeble, I would really enjoy the facility to select 'alpha', or even make alpha the rule with 'sort order' the exception. Maby even be able to select alpha w/ a 'perturbation' to make an individual, (or few/several), exceptions to alpha. I like GeekLog.

Found:

$_CONF['sortmethod'] = 'alpha';

the other day.. apologies

I like GeekLog even more.
