Site Development - Movable Type
I have a list of older entries on the right hand side which i achieved by using a combination of lastn and offset attributes for the MTEntries tag. Now, I would like to sort them by the most recently commented on date, so if any of them get a comment, it bumps the entry to the top. How do i do that? Should it be global to all entries, including currently displayed ones? I kind of like that approach, sort of the forum-style where the most recent topics get bumped to the top. Maybe i should sort within a month, so if i have 3 months worth of entries on the page, the months will still be in order, but internally, the entries will be sorted by last commented on...In 3.2 there is an attribute called "recently_commented_on", but i don't think thats what i need...I am not sure what to do short of writing a PHP page to get what i want, but would like to first see if it's possible to achieve with just tags.

OCC and Microsoft
Looking at the Microsoft website, they are advertising a new video, basically a commercial for Microsoft SQL Server 2005. The actors - Crazy, Wild Guys from Orange County Choppers. Their two major arguments: Microsoft SQL Server is "more good" than Oracle because of it's name recognition. What the hell? Their lead developer: "SQL Server 2005 is perfect for someone like me because I don't know a lot of SQL". Well, go back to school, dude. Btw, why is your site written in PHP? Are you using LAMP? When is .net site coming out?
