Featured Threads Order

Hi,

I'm trying to work with Featured Threads API.

http://plug-in.bestbuy.ca/restapi/vc/boards/id/Sit_Back/threads/featured?restapi.response_style=view

What I need is to reverse the order of threads in the response.

How can I do that?

Thanks in advance.

I'm not precisely sure if you can do that, but then again, I'm not a Developer either so I could be wrong.

Perhaps some kind of programatic change to the XML after you receive it might solve the problem, pivoting off of the date parameter:

Or perhaps you can tinker with the sort order parameter:

http://lithosphere.lithium.com/t5/Growing-Successful-Communities/REST-API-Problem-to-sort-messages/m-p/6415#M2006

but I'm not sure if any of those solutions would really work. Sorry if none of this is helpful.

  Thanks for the reply, Jake.
  
  I played with sort option using topic_sort_order and message_sort_order. I found out that using these options will sort the messages node inside the thread. But, this is not the desired result.
  
  At least, I can see the list of featured threads per board under Admin Tool. So, I'll use the list to manage the threads.
  
  Thanks!

  These suggustions don't give me the results I need either. Have there been any Lithium improvements on this?

    In case it helps anyone ... you can use ?reverse in Freemarker to reverse the list. At least, it worked for me!
