Hey nickyates,

 

Here is a sample component I wrote to print out the id's of threads in descending order by the message count in the thread.

 

<#assign thread_list=rest("/boards/id/Moderation/threads").threads.thread/>
<ul>
<#list thread_list?sort_by(['messages','count'])?reverse as thread>
<li>${thread.id}</li>
</#list>
</ul>

 You should be able to get the topic message from each thread using thread.messages.topic.

 

I hope this helps,

 

Yuri

Just tried below code, based on YuriK solution, but it doesn't works :

 

<#assign thread_list=rest("/boards/id/<board_ID>/threads").threads.thread/>
<ul>
<#list thread_list?sort_by(['messages','views','count'])?reverse as thread>
<li>${thread.id}</li>
</#list>
