    Default Is there an easier way to change sort order of products?

    Is there an easier way to change the sort order of products other than to go to each product in the catalog and change its sort number individually?

    What if a person has 100's of products?!

    There are sort preferences in the admin.
    Alpha
    model
    price
    etc

    What order are you seeking?

    100's Not an issue, some have 10's 0f 1.000's

    I would personally like to sort by the items I would prefer to sell more or feel are 'hotter' items.

    I too have the issue of going into each product to rearrange the sort order. To this point I have just 'grinned and beared it', but as I add more items, it is becoming more time consuming.

    Only you know your top sellers
    Could be done programatically but not easily

    as I add more items, it is becoming more time consuming.
    Should not be if you assign when you enter product....

    Are you using numbers that allow easy inertion later?

    Use orders like
    10, 20, 30, 40, etc

    Default Re: Is there an easier way to change sort order of products?

    Kobra- Thanks for helping on yet another topic!!

    Let me explain a little what I am doing. In Hawaii there is a discount for locals called a "kamaaina deal" Hence the name of my site kamaainadeals.com. My site will sell advertising. Business who want their "kamaaina deal" listed on my website will have the option of buying 3 different ads.

    The 1st ad they can have is basic and includes only their deal, address and phone number. Their "product image" will be my default no photo image.

    The 2nd, more expensive ad will include their business logo instead of the default image, website link etc.

    The 3rd will make them a "featured product" so that they have a larger logo and come up in more categories.

    I need the highest paying customers, those listed under "featured products" to come up first on all pages. The second tier, the ones with a logo need to come next, and the basic listings need to be last. Unfortunetly, I want to sort them by.... well.....

    So as far as sort order, I guess you would say "products" with custom logos first and everything with default images second.

    I assume I will have to just set the sort on each one. That will suck, but I NEED the "featured listing to come up above everything else. People don't want to pay to be on bottom!

    If you can help me solve this one, zen cart will have themselves a $20 donation today!

    Is what you seek is to have featured items at the top of the center box on your main page??

    A link to see what you currently have is in order

    Not wanting it to be first on the home page, or on the category pages because that will mess with navigation. I need to come up first ONLY on the Sub-Category pages.

    See the link

    re-ordering this for that page display is possible but will require another with more knowledge than I about that pages construction

    Might have a wait until another happens along
