FP98: Newest to Oldest Order Doesn' t Work in Discussion Web

Last reviewed: March 18, 1998
Article ID: Q176927
The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft FrontPage 98 for Windows
  • Microsoft FrontPage for the Power Macintosh, version 1.0

SYMPTOMS

When you attempt to list a table of contents in newest to oldest order in the Discussion Web Wizard after you have installed the FrontPage 98 Server Extensions, the articles are posted in oldest to newest order instead of newest to oldest order.

For example, if you post three articles before you upgrade the FrontPage Server Extensions, they will be listed in newest to oldest order in the Tocproto.htm file. After you upgrade the FrontPage Server Extensions, the original articles retain their order, but new articles will be posted in oldest to newest order as shown in the following table:

   Articles Posted Before                  Order of Articles After
   Upgrading Server Extensions             Upgrading Server Extensions
                                           and Three More Articles Posted
