You could set the Product Listing to blank on the sort order, meaning nothing ... then customize the code:
/includes/index_filters/default_filter.php
and change the code from:
Code:
// sort by products_sort_order when PRODUCT_LISTING_DEFAULT_SORT_ORDER is left blank
// for reverse, descending order use:
// $listing_sql .= " order by p.products_sort_order desc, pd.products_name";
$listing_sql .= " order by p.products_sort_order, pd.products_name";
break;
to read:
Code:
// sort by products_sort_order when PRODUCT_LISTING_DEFAULT_SORT_ORDER is left blank
// for reverse, descending order use:
// $listing_sql .= " order by p.products_sort_order desc, pd.products_name";
// bof: customize to sort by date descending
$listing_sql .= " order by p.products_date_added desc, p.products_sort_order, pd.products_name";
// eof: customize to sort by date descending
break;
Now, when navigating the Categories the listing will be by date, sort order, name ...
