Boards Page Customizations and topic options

Hi Gursimrat ,

even if it's true that this page has been customized, they are still using the out of the box message list component.

What they've done is to create a custom grid component (which for now can only be done by professional services).

Through a grid you are able to replace every single cell in the message list with a custom component.

This way, they're putting custom content in the table but still retaining the out of the box functionalities.

This is one of the reason why we always discourage from replacing a standard message list with a fully customized content. Doing so you would lose not only the functionalities you're referencing in your post (i.e. sorting) but also some administration functionalities, like moderation and batch processing.

In your case, because the list is generated by a custom query, you have to implement the logic to change the query you're using for retrieving the content by interpreting some query parameter you would pass to the page.

In your specific case you should be able to use the sort_by parameter to change the sort ordering.

Thanks,

Nico
