Manufacturers and other dropdown options

[pricediscrimination]

Thank you so much. I went to the admin>configuration and the settings you mentioned didn't change anything. So I dug around in the tpl_index_product_list.php file and noticed it was missing a lot of code compared to the stock version. I added the following code after the category description and it worked!

<?php
  $check_for_alpha = $listing_sql;
  $check_for_alpha = $db->Execute($check_for_alpha);

  if ($do_filter_list || ($check_for_alpha->RecordCount() > 0 && PRODUCT_LIST_ALPHA_SORTER == 'true')) {
  $form = zen_draw_form('filter', zen_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT), 'get') . '<label class="inputLabel">' .TEXT_SHOW . '</label>';
?>

<?php
  echo $form;
  echo zen_draw_hidden_field('main_page', FILENAME_DEFAULT);
  echo zen_hide_session_id();
?>
<?php
  // draw cPath if known
  if (!$getoption_set) {
    echo zen_draw_hidden_field('cPath', $cPath);
  } else {
    // draw manufacturers_id
    echo zen_draw_hidden_field($get_option_variable, $_GET[$get_option_variable]);
  }

  // draw music_genre_id
  if (isset($_GET['music_genre_id']) && $_GET['music_genre_id'] != '') echo zen_draw_hidden_field('music_genre_id', $_GET['music_genre_id']);

  // draw record_company_id
  if (isset($_GET['record_company_id']) && $_GET['record_company_id'] != '') echo zen_draw_hidden_field('record_company_id', $_GET['record_company_id']);

  // draw typefilter
  if (isset($_GET['typefilter']) && $_GET['typefilter'] != '') echo zen_draw_hidden_field('typefilter', $_GET['typefilter']);

  // draw manufacturers_id if not already done earlier
  if ($get_option_variable != 'manufacturers_id' && isset($_GET['manufacturers_id']) && $_GET['manufacturers_id'] > 0) {
    echo zen_draw_hidden_field('manufacturers_id', $_GET['manufacturers_id']);
  }

  // draw sort
  echo zen_draw_hidden_field('sort', $_GET['sort']);

  // draw filter_id (ie: category/mfg depending on $options)
  if ($do_filter_list) {
    echo zen_draw_pull_down_menu('filter_id', $options, (isset($_GET['filter_id']) ? $_GET['filter_id'] : ''), 'onchange="this.form.submit()"');
  }

  // draw alpha sorter
  require(DIR_WS_MODULES . zen_get_module_directory(FILENAME_PRODUCT_LISTING_ALPHA_SORTER));
?>
</form>
<?php
  }
?>
<br class="clearBoth" />

Now the Filter Results By Manufacturers or Items Starting With... are showing!

I was wondering if there are any other things that can be filtered or sorted via dropdown?
