# sort topic issue

 * I am using bbPress – Sort topic replies. When I go to edit the forum I get the
   option to sort to sort replies in a descending order. This works fine when I 
   go to the forums page [http://tenniselbowracquet.com/forums/forum/tennis-racquets-2/](http://tenniselbowracquet.com/forums/forum/tennis-racquets-2/)
   and down into the individual topics.
 * But I have individual pages where I include an individual topic such as [http://tenniselbowracquet.com/tennis-racquets/](http://tenniselbowracquet.com/tennis-racquets/)
   and [http://tenniselbowracquet.com/tennis-string/](http://tenniselbowracquet.com/tennis-string/)
   and when I scroll down those pages the oldest replies are first, this is despite
   going to settings-discussion and checking comments should display newer comments
   at the top of each page.
 * It is showing the older comments at the top of these pages. How can I reverse
   this?
 * Thank you.

 * Hello
 * This page: [http://tenniselbowracquet.com/tennis-racquets/](http://tenniselbowracquet.com/tennis-racquets/)
   
   is actually a WordPress page with its comments. This plugin’s setting does not
   apply to the comments of WordPress pages.
 * But this page: [http://tenniselbowracquet.com/tennis-string/](http://tenniselbowracquet.com/tennis-string/)
   
   is a bbPress topic, but its probably a topic with no parent forum selected for
   it. Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I am going to work on a fix for
   this. Please check back in a day or two.
 * In the mean time, if you plan to set all topics to sort its replies in descending
   order (newest replies first), please select Global setting in any Forum to descending
   and it will force all topic replies to show in descending order.
 * Thanks!

 * Hello,
    I still have the same problem. The order is correct when you go directly
   into the forums but when I place a individual topic on a particular page the 
   order is wrong see [http://tenniselbowracquet.com/tennis-racquets/](http://tenniselbowracquet.com/tennis-racquets/)
   and [http://tenniselbowracquet.com/tennis-string/](http://tenniselbowracquet.com/tennis-string/)
 * Thank you.

 * Ok, I have been looking into this for few days.
 * This what I got in response from the bbPess support.
 * > No sorry, the shortcode uses it’s own method, and without a re-write there’s
   > no quick way to fix this.
 * Apparently they use a different method to load posts in the short codes so traditional
   filter dont work.
 * I will investigate it further to come up with some solution, but for now there
   is no fix. Sorry.

 * This is awful it means that even if I have thousands of replies every time anyone
   goes to the page they see the same post every time, the very first reply ever.
   Have you found anyway to get this in order.
 * Thank you
