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

    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

    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

    Thanks Kobra, I started applying this method and it does alleviate pain. I should have been thinking 'bigger' at the beginning! Live and learn...good stuff...

    Without a bunch of custom coding, you will have to touch each product's sort order. However, there is a simple way to set it up: give all featured products a sort order of 1, medium products sort order 2 and basic products sort order 3.

    Then in Configuration > Product Listing, set Display Product Listing Default Sort Order to blank. This will sort in the product listing page first on product sort orders and then by product id (oldest first). (It would take some custom coding to get the second sort to happen on product name, but this would be a desirable feature for someone to code, as it would frequently be a more useful criterion than product id.)

    All products must have a sort order assigned; any without one will appear first of all in the listing.
