new tags

[Anguz]

I thought that it'd be good to have a couple more tags for the messages: [time] and [sort][/sort]

[time] would be replaced with a timestamp when saved to the database... this can be very useful when editing a message several times to make updates or things like that

[sort] would sort the enclosed lines alphanumerically... this can be useful when writting lists of things (urls, names, etc) and save yourself the trouble of putting them in order

[[Unknown]]

I've thought about adding this to SMF more than once.

I wrote this from what I read in Subs.php, I didn't test it at all, but maybe they'd work, what do you think?

the [sort] tag could even have a modifier to make it descending, with ascending as default...

[sort] for ascending
[sort-] for descending

it could even be used to randomize the list hehe...

[sort?] to randomize



it'd only take a little modification to the regex in $codefromcache array and the bbsort() function
