Re: How to change order only for child elements in find('threaded').

Thanks a lot!
Your suggestion solved my problem. Just like you said, I run select query with ascending order, then if the sorting is set to DESC, I run array_reverse on result set.
Cheers!:)

Model::_findThreaded() uses Set::nest() to create the threaded array.
So, perhaps the simplest approach would be to use 'ASC' by default,
then test for $sort _after_ you get the results back. To switch to
descending order for just the parent comments, run the result through
array_reverse().
