We merged some threads and were hoping the order of the posts in the result would the order of post creation. But they are not. Is there any way to re-order them into creation order, or at least be sure they stay in creation order next time we merge? Found this related topic, but it’s closed: [תמונה] How to fix an out of order mistake after moving two sets of posts to a new topic Support I have some editing rights (but I’m not in charge) on the Discourse Forum where I participate. I marked some posts to move…skipped a few…and marked others below that. All the ones I needed were marked. I moved the lot. Then, noticed the 1st marked post and its replies did not move. I went back and moved those over, expecting they would list themselves in date-time order. They did not. So how can I fix my mistake, so that Post 1 is back in 1st position? And, is is wrong to skip posts when…

Actually, we merged three fairly long moderator topics about one individual that was causing problems. It made it really hard to follow the flow of what had transpired and caused the boss to make a mistake in dealing with that individual. Oh well, won’t be doing that again.

Posts get pulled in post-id order. Pulling in another order would be a performance issue, and would only be useful in the very rare edge case. . . that you managed to find.

There is a rake task that may help in these situations: cd /var/discourse ./launcher enter app rake posts:reorder_posts That task will set the order of all posts on your site according to when they were created. And to target it to a specific topic instead: rake "posts:reorder_posts[TOPIC_ID]"

AFAIK there is no way to change this behaviour, no. In good news, it’s likely that no one will notice.
