My b2evolution Version: 1.9.x

hey all, i was wondering if anyone had any experience setting the order of their linkblog. By default it is alphabetical but I have been trying to get it to list by publishing date. apparently no small task.

Topanga had a great hack but when i try to use it i get a million parse errors and syntax errors that i can't figure out how to fix.http://forums.b2evolution.net/viewtopic.php?t=4355&start=0&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=alphabet

the manual comes up short right at "arranging" the linkblog

here's the test page using it

anyone know how to arrange the links in the linkblog?
cheers
