Reorder post summary when replying in a thread

[kateys]

Hello

Is it possible to create a plugin that would  have the posts summary show up with last post first only when making a reply within a thread?

When I click on "Reply" within a thread, all the other posts (summary) line up below the reply box. The problem is that they line up oldest to newest. Most often i want to refer to the newest post or 2 when making my reply. As it is now, I have to scroll through several posts to access the most recent. This is very inconvenient where there are several.

I know on other forums I belong to, the opposite is true (or at least it is set up that way) so I was hoping that there is a way it can be done on ProBoards too.

I have searched through all the plugins, settings, themes etc etc and cannot find anything on this particular issue.

I did see a post in the help section stating that the order of Posts within a thread cannot be changed, but this is different.

I do not want to change the actual order of the posts. I just want to change the order in which the posts summary can be viewed when accessing the "Reply" box within the same thread.

I hope you can help.

Thanks

Kathy

Peter thank you so very much. The code worked for me.


Now all I have to find out is how to make the original post to a thread  (usually instructions)  be the first post on each page in the thread.

I will keep looking.

Again, Thank you so much for responding to my question.
