Is it possible to keep a sort order when say looking at memberlist.
If sorted on posts it reverts to joining date etc - unless I have missed something.

No, it's a one time thing. I have noticed that it can be a bit odd.

It should always default to sorting by membership number. At the moment there's no easy way of storing a by-user preference to change that default, so you always have to scroll down to the bottom and change the sort order. Soz!

OK. Thanks for that.
It works as you say on membership number by default.
Just wondered if other settings could be selected by default - No!

any way you can allow sortable columns (you know by clicking column title etc) on new post and search results

You can sort a search before you do the search, but I think it's a bit tricky for a database to sort a results query without storing the results for a period of time in the database (which would use up lots of brain power and space.) So, er, no.
