ReverseHistoryOrder
Can I reverse order of transactions on history page?
A: Yes. RT-3.4.6 and 3.6.1 have global config option OldestTransactionsFirst. Note that while the name of this variable is OldestTransactionsFirst, you must set it to '0' to be true, and '1' to be false.
RT-3.7 allows user to change this option in preferences. The patch below has more features then in the core. Feel free to update patch to 3.6 or 3.7 code and submit to devel list.
A: Yes. There are times when multiple correspondences can lead up to a rather large ticket. In this instance, it is often desirable to reverse the order of the the order of transactions displayed under the history tab. This howto will change the "History" title into a link that will reverse which ever is the current order. Read also next discussion.
Copy the text below (between the --PATCH-- lines) and paste in into a new text file. Name it something like ReverseHistoryOrder-RT-v3.2.x.patch. Next copy this file to /path/to/rt3/share. From this directory (/path/to/rt3/share) run the following command:
patch -l -p0 < ReverseHistoryOrder-3.2.patch
Then CleanMasonCache and restart the RT http server.
