Display the most recently commented posts first

Bump… anyone?

Take a look at this thread

You can’t. At least, not through the standard mechanisms in WordPress.

You can create a custom query that collects and displays the posts based on this and replacing The Loop with it’s older cousin; but note this will leave off some functionality, for example pagination (next/previous posts).

deuced, I believe dnusim is looking for a way to change the sort order of posts (assumedly on a blog’s home page) based on those recently commented on. Not the order of the comments.

Whoops, sorry for this, i guess i missunderstood the question…

Thank you both for replying. Kafka read the question the way I meant to ask it. I will try to hardcode this. Just wanted to double check that I didn’t set out to reinvent the wheel…

Moving towards something. Here’s what I’ve come up with so far.

Taking suggestions.

The plugin that takes care of it is released.
