I have my site set to display only one review on each "lead-in" page and currently it's showing the most recent review by default.

How can I set it to show the oldest review first?

Regards,
Jason

I assume you are referring to index2.php...

Open that file and find this on line 12:

$sort = @$_REQUEST['sort'];

Change it to:
//$sort = @$_REQUEST['sort'];

Then below that line put this:

$sort = "date_added";
$order = "ASC";

Thanks Tim, though that's not what I have on line 12. In fact, I don't see those lines at all. Perhaps I have an older version, or mine is altered when you helped me customize it?

Here's a better example...

You'll notice the review at the bottom is the latest. I want that page to show the oldest first...

I think you're using the review_insert.php feature? If so, do the same changes in that file. It might not be the same line number but it will be close.

Thanks Tim! I'll try that tonight.

Tim, even in that file, I'm unable to find anything similar to:

$sort = @$_REQUEST['sort'];

I'm wondering if I'm on an older script version?

In fact, if I click at the bottom to view all reviews, all I get is the other 1 out of 2 and not all of them. I can't see the options anywhere to sort them by ratings, date, etc...as I sorta see in the coding. I had you do some customizing. Perhaps that may be why or maybe I'm missing something?
