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.?

thanks for this, I never did say. I went for the other sort code posted in this thread though I found it reset my dynamic filters, however, ive now found a goochy css tooltip with a question mark i've put next to it just to advise visitors to use the sort before filters so should do the trick :o)
