So basically you want to sort by the discussion title?

I think this is a sub-optimal field to sort by, but you could use what I posted in this discussion:

http://vanillaforums.org/discussion/comment/215807/#Comment_215807

and just replace d.DateInserted by d.Name

It sub-optimal becuase is not indexed and generally dates are faster to sort.

Use categories and sort in the dashboard?

I think what he really want is to filter by letter. You could do by category, but thsi would be to tedious to enforce.

Probably better as plugin which filters not sorts.

yes I would like to sort by letter because when someone is coming to the forum by mobile the search window isn't there so to be able to just look down the list in order would be faster.but if they go to PC they can always type the the airport identifier in th esearch bar and find it fast that way.

Your can add the search bar to your mobile theme with the smarty tag {searchbox}
