    Actually what I mean is because I've posted the 26th April topic first after that 25th April's topic, so I want to change the position of these topics.

    thanks but i think u got the wrong idea.

    I'm referring to the topics in a particular section and not the posts in a topic.

    No its like by right we are supposed to post the latest topics first right, like yesterday u'd post 25th April news, and today would be 26th April news.

    But the thing is, I'd post 23rd and 24th April news today on the 26th April.
    So now I want to make these 2 dates be at the back, not be the latest so members know the dates of the most recent news.

    can understand this part now?

    but it seems that the forum can only change the order of the topics on when you posted first, and not change the positions of the topics yourself.

    yes it can't be done.

    Since this thread appears to be solved, I will lock this thread and mark it as solved.
