Update: search results are now ranked by bump or last post time, whichever more recent. Previously they were ranked by last post time only.

How do I arrange the Garage Sales items so they are arranged descending according to last post/reply/bump?  Using the default by Rank, it's wrong... if I sort by Last Post, it is wrong also...

This is the default, by Rank.  What's Rank anyway?

Please show me a screenshot demonstrating how Last Post is wrong.

As for Rank, a topic is ranked according to the topic starter's bump time, or a third party's reply time (whichever comes later). A topic starter's own reply to his topic no longer bumps a topic.

Sorry, let me rephrase.  Last Post ordering looks normal, but it does not include bumps.  If there's a post which was bumped 1 minute ago, it won't appear as if it was last replied 1 minute ago.  Before the enhancements, the default sorting (can't quite remember what it was) sorted by last posts and bumps in descending order.

The "last post" column has been changed to literally mean when the last post was made. I can understand that after 10 years looking at the topic lists with the previous bump implementation, it is weird looking at a "last post" column that looks unsorted. But it's actually correct now, whereas in the past it was a lie, sort of smile.gif

Anyway, I plan to remove the Last Post column completely as it isn't useful info for the buyers to know. Only the time of seller's last action (bump/edit/reply) will be shown.

How do I emulate the same behaviour (include everything that had some kind of activity, including new posts, replies and bumps)?

You can't. The Trade Zone ranking dynamics have changed: a seller's reply doesn't bump his own thread anymore, in exchange for fewer restrictions on seller posts (for example, "you got PM" is allowed now). So there is no longer a direct association with the old behavior anymore.

Sorry that was a mistake, I accidentally removed it while fixing the search feature sorting. I have also made the bump feature direct you back to your previous screen smile.gif

bro wkkay why is the circled thread has higher position in the search?

When you bump a topic, other topics you have in the same subforum will be de-bumped by 30 minutes. This is to prevent the front page from being dominated by one seller's topics.
