XF 1.5 Where to edit helpers?

[Blast]

I want to edit this:
{xen:helper sortArrow, $order, $orderDirection, reply_count}

And hoping to replace the up and down to font awesome icons instead.

There's a static field in XenForo_Template_Helper_Core I believe that holds all the callbacks.

You just have to change the callback, or change the code in the callback.

Hey Liam. I apologize for this, but I can't seem to find that file anywhere. Where is it located?

library/XenForo/Template/Helper/Core.php

It might be in one of the other files around that area.

Thanks Liam. I found it now. I haven't worked with PHP before as I find it way too complicated.

So this is the line inside:

public static function helperSortArrow($order, $direction, $fieldName, $descOutput = ' ↓', $ascOutput = ' ↑')

Since &XXX; is html, would it be possible for me to replace those with an HTML tag <i></i>?

BINGO! It works!

Thank you very much @Liam W. Couldn't have done it without your help.
