    Default Sort Order in Category

    Look at http://glitzglamr.com/index.php?main...index&cPath=17

    So there you see a list of products. All is good, we have a sort order defined. The silver heart flip flops are 1 on the sort order and are appearing at the top as they should.

    Now click on the silver heart flip flops to go to the product detail page. If you look at the next/prev buttons, those flip flops are listed as 8/9 not 1/9.

    How is the order determined for the next/prev buttons?

    I'm confused - I wasn't talking about the sort order for how the products are displayed on the page, I was talking about the sort order for the previous-next buttons and how the products are not ordered using the previous next buttons the way the sort order is set in the cart.

    For the FIRST setting that is under the Configuration ... Product Listing ...
    Display Product Listing Default Sort Order
    Product Listing Default sort order?
    NOTE: Leave Blank for Product Sort Order. Sort the Product Listing in the order you wish for the default display to start in to get the sort order setting. Example: 2a
    If you want this sorted by the Product Sort Order then Leave it Blank, as the instructions say ...

    For the SECOND setting that is under the Configuration ... Product Info ...

    1= Product Name
    2= Model
    3= Price, Product Name
    4= Price, Model
