Sort drop down on Column / Grid View Add On

[philip937]

I installed this mod:
http://www.zen-cart.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=3

is there a way to have the sort drop down same as in the products_all pages where you have a drop down with Price high-Low, Low-Hight etc etc?

I enabled the sort function on this mod but it just give 3 links

To have all of the explicit order links would require a bunch of custom coding adapted from the all products page. To put the mod links in a dropdown, add to your stylesheet:

#gridSorter {position: relative; z-index: 100; background: #ddeeff; height: 1.6em; width: 10em; margin-left: 2em; padding-left: 1em; overflow: hidden;}
#gridSorter:hover {overflow: visible;}
#gridSorter:hover li {background: #ddeeff; list-style-position: inside; padding-left: 1em; margin-left: -1em;}

Ignore the previous styling code. I was using a test site with an older version of Column Grid; the latest version can be styled with this:

#gridSorter {position: relative; padding: 0.5em 0;}
#gridSorter ul {display: none;}
#gridSorter:hover ul {display: block; position: absolute; top: 1.2em; padding: 0.5em 2em; margin-left: 0; background: #ddeeff;}

I hope I am posting to the correct thread.

I have installed "column lay out grid" plug-in. How can I change the filter from Alphanumeric to the old way of filtering, by price and etc.?

I just founded the following thread that solved the problem. and wantred to share it.

Thanks for finding that bit of code! It directly solves the OP issue.

Note, however, that the latest version of Column Grid does allow the admin to activate the same sort order links as the original product listing page has, for the grid layout. This is not the explicit text version, but can allow even more options than that.

It was a quick fix for me. I wanted to see the prior / older filtering scheme. I did turned off both filters (Alphanumeric & Title sort) from admin. Column Grid is a great mod.

Thank you for all your hard work.

It doesnt work for me, only seems to work when the page number is before the sort???
