Sorting issue

[timhersh]

Hello,

This page http://www.fitzsrootbeer.com/shop/in...index&cPath=56

Has the Obama and Romey soda's set to sort value of -5 which is lower than the rest, I can't get it to display in order based on what I setup as the sort value, any ideas why this is happening?

When I set a sort order on a product in my stock Zencart test site to -5 (with the rest set to 0), it moves that product to the top of the listing, so what you did should work. Do you have a value set in Admin - Configuration - Product Listing - Display Product Listing Default Sort Order ? In a stock setup, it's blank.

Thank you, it is blank though, I'm not sure why it won't work

Any ideas why this might be not working?

Here is the code in my "default_filter"
