Order of replies

This is called activity page, and in next version this will be set as default sorting. the question which have latest activity will be on top.

but this feature is not available until next version.

That was quick!

I’m not talking about the order of the questions. The order of those now is fine, and what you propose will be even better.

I am talking about the answers to questions. Currently, they start with the newest, and then get older. I’d like them to start with the oldest and get newer, because it would be easier for a reader to follow.

Oh I misunderstand ??

We have added this feature to our development version many days ago (not yet pushed to respiratory), there will be an option in anspress option by which you can set order of answer:

Most voted
Newest

And indeed selected answer will be at top, also user can sort answers as they want.

Thank you!

I’d want the newest at the bottom, so that the question and then the answers can be read in chronological order. I look forward to the next update — and thanks again!

Anyway, thanks for suggestion. It will help us to deliver you an awesome q&a system.

After releasing 0.5 version, I will make a dedicated site for anspress where you can suggest features and report bugs.

Thanks for your time.

Added this to functions.php file to get what I was looking for:

<?php
// set answers by chronological order
function ans_modify_query_order( $query ) {
    if ( get_post_type() == 'question' ) {
        $query->set( 'orderby', 'date' );
        $query->set( 'order', 'ASC' );
    }
}
add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'ans_modify_query_order' );
?>
