Code below will give you "Linear Format: Sorting order within topics"
${coreNode.settings.name.get("layout.linear_in_thread_sort", "none")}
Code you have mentioned is for "Sort topics by", its value either true or false only.
<#assign sort_order = restadmin("/settings/name/layout.sort_view_by_last_post_date").value />
${coreNode.settings.name.get("layout.sort_view_by_last_post_date", "none")}
I indeed copied an older version of my code. But even the setting you suggested doesn't change when switching between "Oldest to Newest" and "Oldest to Newest". Here are the other settings I was looking at and the values they always return:
layout.threading_order: thread_descending
layout.linear_in_thread_sort: by_threading
Someone else has any ideas what setting exposes the thread order sorting?
