[rt-users] History display order

[John Gedeon]

What I ended up doing is the following.

In the file Ticket/History.html
...
  <& /Ticket/Elements/ShowHistory , Ticket => $Ticket,  ShowHeaders => 
$ARGS{'ShowHeaders'},
                                                       URIFile => 
'History.html'
                                              +       , Order => 
$ARGS{'Order'} &>
...
in file Ticket/Elemenets/ShowHistory:
...
  %  if ($ShowHeaders ...
  FullHeaders</a>]
  % }
   % if ($Order eq 'asc') {
   [<a href = "<%$URIFile%>?id=<%Ticket->id>&Order=desc">Descending</a>]
   % } else {
   more options like that
   % }
  ....
  <%INIT>
    my $Transactios = $Ticket->Transactions;
+ $Transactions->OrderBy ( ALIAS => 'main', FIELD => 'Created' , ORDER => 
"$Order");
     my $i;
  </%INIT>
...
  <%ARGS>
   ...
    $ShowHeaders => undef
+ $Order => 'asc'
    $Collapsed => undef
    ...
  </%ARGS>

$Order is set by the link. by defaut its ASC and clicking the link makes it 
DESC and vice versa. (now if i can make it a user preference so that their 
preference can be saved that would be good.)
