Heya monks... I'm trying to use some articles I found to program the tree for a SQL forum I'm making. The problem isnt implementing it, no... It works perfectly. The problem is, is it that it puts new posts at the bottom of a nested set instead of the top, so instead of this:

ROOT POST

It looks like this:

ROOT POST

Now, I can get around this by saying that to post, I make the new post's left and right values are one & two more than the left value of the parent instead of one and two less than the right, but this presents a problem. Because I'm putting the posts at the top and modifying every post under it, the SQL query is effectively modifying every single post in the database on every new post. Is there any way to get the threads to show in reverse order, or somehow put the posts in verse order starting at the bottom of the forum?

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post, it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":


  • Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
  • Please read these before you post! —
