Sometimes you may want to let users decide what sort of toplist to view. Take the toplist in your main index template, for example:
<form action="index.php" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<div class="box">
<div class="boxtitle" onclick="minmax('topbox')"><img src="{IMAGESURL}/icon_show.gif" > Top {TOPLISTTOTAL1} Links</div>
<div class="boxbody" id="topbox">
Show
<select name="number[1]">
<option value="5">5</option>
<option value="10">10</option>
<option value="15">15</option>
</select>
<select name="thefield[1]">
<option value="time">newest</option>
<option value="rating">top rated</option>
<option value="hits">most visited</option>
</select>
<input type="submit" value="Go" class="button" >
<br >
<!-- BEGIN TOPLIST 1 -->
<CONFIG>links[,]time[,]5[,]descending</CONFIG>
{NUMBER}. <a href="{TRACKLINKURL}" class="newlinks" {EXTERNALLINKS}>{LINKTITLE}</a> {LINKADMIN}
<br >
<!-- END TOPLIST 1 -->
</div>
</div>
</form>


To add an alphabetical option, add
<option value="title">alphabetically</option>
in the number[1] selector... and so on for all other fields in the applicable mysql table.

To do allow ascending/descending selection add
<select name="order[1]">
<option value="asc">ascending</option>
<option value="desc">descending</option>
</select>




Description Make selectors to let users choose what to see.
