Sorting related articles

Hi, is it possible to add an option: Order: Recently created last?

I use Joomla articles to "simulate" a calendar for motorsport events. The blog-view is ordered by created date which works well to show the next upcoming event first (see attachment).

The related articles module is used to show other articles for the selected location. But the order is in the opposite direction.

Please help :-)

Hi, I haven't tested it but you can try this :
Please open this file : ../modules/mod_relateditems_xtd/helper.php at lines 318 - 324 you will see this :
//ordering option
						switch($ordering) {
							case 0: default: $orderby = "a.created DESC" ; break;
							case 1: $orderby  = "a.hits DESC"; break;
							case 2: $orderby  = "a.ordering DESC"; break;
							case 3: $orderby  = "RAND()"; break;
						}
try to change it to :
//ordering option
						switch($ordering) {
							case 0: default: $orderby = "a.created ASC" ; break;
							case 1: $orderby  = "a.hits DESC"; break;
							case 2: $orderby  = "a.ordering DESC"; break;
							case 3: $orderby  = "RAND()"; break;
						}

Hi, are you sure? the code purpose is about to change the direction. Could you let me know the URL of your site so I can take a look?

I found it. The same code appears at line 169 - 175. I changed it there and now it works.

One last question, how can I hide the caption "More articles"? I don't find any option for it.

Hi, sorry but do you use Related Item Extended module or something else? Because Related Item Extended doesn't have that "More articles" wording
