Change sort order of View New Posts?

[samtha25]

Can I change the sort order of the search results from View New Posts, so that the threads are sorted first by forum then by date from oldest to newest?

See this line in search.php?

    eval("standardredirect(\"".gettemplate("redirect_search")."\",\"search.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&action=showresults&getnew=true&searchid=$searchid\");");

change it to this line:

    eval("standardredirect(\"".gettemplate("redirect_search")."\",\"search.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&action=showresults&getnew=true&searchid=$searchid[color=red]&sortby=forum[/color]\");");

Sort threads by Forum in search or New Posts

Does anyone have an update for this for vB vBulletin 3.6.4?
The string that Chen cites is not in this version in search.php.
