How to delete or cleanup ALL messages/topics?

How do I cleanup/delete all messages in my discussion board? Including all categories.

Inside a topic: how to "default" to sort by "date" (instead of sort by most popular)? I want to set all my topics to sort by date by default.

    Delete everything permanently?

    truncate table GDN_Comment; truncate table GDN_Discussion; truncate table GDN_Category;

    Run that in MySQL or however you query a database on your host.

    By default, discussions order by date of last comment. To order by the date of the original post, add this to conf/config.php:

    $Configuration['Vanilla']['Discussions']['SortField'] = 'd.DateInserted';

    I meant, answers to discussion. For example: In this discussion, the posts/answers are ordered by "votes" by default. How to make it sort by "date added" by default?

    Oh. That's something to do with the Voting plugin; I don't know. I've had it by Date Added so long I forgot there was a different default.
