Hello Zen Cart Community!

To start with, I have searched for this answer, and could not find anything that specifically addresses my question so here we go, my first post in the forums! The Zen Cart system is awesome and I truly appreciate any help you might be able to provide.

I have a site pretty much ready for production and just want to modify a couple of things to make browsing our products easier for the end-user. I will include a few screenshots to demonstrate what I am looking for.

By default, when a user visits the site and clicks on a Product Category link, they get a nice listing for that category, however the sorting options are limited to Alpha/Numeric (i.e. A-Z and 0-9) which is very limited. However, when a visitor clicks on the "New Products ..." and "All Products ... " links, they get a different view of the products and a great "Sort by:" option that allows for several sorting options, including by price.

Filter Results by:


Sort by:


I'd like to change the Product Category sort option to match the "Sort By:" option offered in the "New Products ..." and "All Products ... " view/links.

I'd also like to change the "New Products ..." and "All Products ... " links to match the layout used by the default Product category listings so that there is consistency in our product listings. See below:

Category View


"New Products ..." and "All Products ... " view


I'd like ALL product listings to match the category view which to me is cleaner and on top of that I'd like them all to be consistent.

Any and all help with this would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks folks!
