Forums mIRC Help Ordering nick list

How do you get mIRC to order names in a channel by the order they joined, rather than alphabetically?

I find it convenient to tell at a glance who is newer to their session on the channel, and many java clients allow this.

To my knowledge you can't. If it was based on the order of joining I would use another programme, unless there was a function to enable alphabetical listings. Imagine searching a whole list for Bob when his nick isn't in the B section...

You can't get the nicklist to sort by the join order, but you can get the join order easily enough with /names #channel. The results are shown in reverse order that they joined (it's a linked list with the last to join at the head end). /who #channel will give you the same information, but gives each nick their own line - and again, it returns the list in reverse join order.

If the channel is big /who #ChannelName would flood ya nicely out, so watch out

It could very well do just that, which is why I suggested using /names #channel instead.
