Can you change the sharepoint discussion boards to sort by newest post at top and oldest post at bot

[Bryan]

I have looked everywhere trying to figure out how this can be done with no luck. I simply want to have a view within SharePoint Discussion Boards to show the newest post at the top of the page instead of the bottom. Perhaps it simply can not be done, but that seems odd to me considering every discussion board I have ever seen sorts by the newest at top, and oldest at bottom.

The closest I have found out on how to accomplish this comes from this link http://office.microsoft.com/assista...ID=HA010990371033&CTT=4&Origin=CH063547431033 But it doest work.... I changed the sort order of the "ordering" field to descending, which worked but the threads were no longer threaded... so every post in each thread looked like its own seperate topic...

Can this be done
