Product Sorter [Support Thread]

This is the official support thread for the ZX Product Sorter plugin.

For those who want to download it before it is approved and available in the Plugins section, you can find it here.

Product Sorter is a very useful Marketing Tool designed for every Zenner. A simple drag & drop function lets you re-arrange the sort order of products in your store, giving you total control over the order that customers see your products.

So now you, the store owner, can present products in the exact way you want customers to see them by simply and easily changing the order of your products within each category with the simple 'drag and drop' feature of this plugin. This is a great advantage in putting some of your best sellers or bait items exactly where you want them, any time you like to make changes - it is like having a full time 'window dresser' and 'merchandiser' on staff. A huge benefit also is for when repeat or regular customers revisit your site they will likely be seeing your products laid out differently to the last visit giving your store that 'fresh' look.

This plugin updates the sort order normally entered in the product details form, thus overriding the standard numeric/alpha sort order system within ZenCart - a big plus also is that no core files are altered with this plugin and installation is safe and simple.

You just need to navigate to admin->Catalog->Product Sorter, select the category you want to edit and start dragging your products around to re-arrange it. Once you're happy with the results, simply click the "save sort order" button.

I've rebuilt this plugin for Zen Cart 2.x as an Encapsulated Plugin. You can find it on GitHub:
