Question

How to reanrrange the order of meta elements WHAT WHO WHEN differently on comments, Knowing that this order is set in the language file , is there any hack to make this order change with specific context

Specificaly what i  want to acheive is :
 

On answers/question the meta stays as default

WHAT^WHEN^WHO

On comments:
WHO^WHEN

I think the best way would be to override the post_meta function in your custom theme. The ordering depends on the value of $post['meta_order']. I think something like this should work:

function post_meta($post, $class, $prefix=null, $separator='<br/>')
{
  if ($post['type'] == 'C')
   $post['meta_order'] = '^who^when';

 

  parent::post_meta($post, $class, $prefix, $separator);
}
