You've got three (3) requests in that post:
- Include, and process, the categories' sort-order in a products' export. DbIo doesn't export that value either for its products' report (it would actually be a set of values, right, since each category has its own sort-order). What bearing does a categories' sort-order have on a product's definition? I can see including the categories' sort-order with a categories I/O handler, but for products?
- Include sort-orders in the basic attributes' export. DbIo's "basic" products-attributes I/O report does not include those fields, either. For this report, the idea is to keep the processed fields to a minimum.
- Include sort-orders in the detailed attributes' export. DbIo, like EP-4, includes only the attribute-specific sort order (the v_products_options_sort_order) since that report is dealing with the products_attributes table. The option-specific sort order is included in the ProductsOptions handler's processing and the option-value-specific sort order is included in the ProductsOptionsValues handler.
