Sorting Listings in Descending Order by Default

[sinkorsurf]

I have my search results set to sort by Listing ID. How do I get these results to default to decending order so the newest listings will display first when a visitor lands on the search results page?

sinkorsurf ,
to make search results sorted by id descending order by default, you'll need to modify lines 255 - 256 in \system\modules\classifieds\user\functions\db_search.php file.
You should change

Code:

else
$order.='ID';

to

Code:

else {
$order.='ID';
$_REQUEST['sorting'] = 0;
}

That will make search results sorted by id descending order if no sorting parameter is provided.
After that you'll need to set "Default sorting field" for "Not set" for you search forms.
