Problem With getThreads Not Sorting Right

Brent W

Well-known member
I am obviously overlooking something here?

Code:

PHP:
        $threadModel = $this->_getThreadModel();
       
        $threadConditions = array(
           
            'discussion_state' => 'visible',
            'discussion_open' => '1'
           
        );
       
        $threadFetchOptions = array(
            'order' => 'view_count',
            'orderDirection' => 'DESC',
            'limit' => '10'
        );
       
        $threads = $threadModel->getThreads($threadConditions, $threadFetchOptions);
        echo '<pre>';
        var_dump($threads);
        echo '</pre>';

This should return the top 10 threads with the most views, sorted by view_count highest to lowest right?

Right now it is not seeming to recognize the orderDirection at all.

Sample result:

Code:

Interesting, removing the orderDirection completely results in the correct results. I guess it should only be used if sorting ASC?
