Sort order---not working

[timhersh]

Hello,

I have looked everywhere and can't figure out why this isn't working. It has to be simple.

I have set the sort values for each product and I am just using the default sort value but it isn't working

http://poolkitsdirect.com/pools/inde...ex&cPath=64_66

any ideas? I have set all the southport pools to a 0 and the others are 1 so the southports should show up first?

Check the Configuration ... Product Listing ... and make sure this is blank:

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

[timhersh]

thanks, it is blank though

Have you made changes to the file:
/includes/index_filters/default_filter.php

You are getting errors on the listing when clicking other sort methods such as Item Name or Price ...

thank you for the response.

I didn't edit that file at all and just replaced it with another from a fresh install and it isn't working , I see the error you are mentioning, it pulls up this error below. I'm not sure where the mistake it though, I looked in the file you mentioned and there is nothing at line 7

What version of Zen Cart are you running?

If you go to the Tools ... Developers Tool Kit ... and in the bottom input line enter:
default_filter.php

and select Catalog ... and click SEARCH ...

What comes up on the version id line?

[timhersh]

1.39h

here is the answer to the version

@version $Id: default_filter.php 6912 2007-09-02 02:23:45Z drbyte $

hope this helps

thank you

Zen Cart v1.3.9h uses:

* @version $Id: default_filter.php 14870 2009-11-19 22:36:24Z drbyte $

Download a clean v1.3.9h and load the correct file and see if it works for you ...

[timhersh]

Bingo, it worked

thank you very much

Thanks for the update that restoring the v1.3.9h file fixed the issue ...
