Product Info - Prev/Next Order

[mrmarcus66]

I think this a bug, I have set the sort order of a number of products so they are in the order I want on the product listing page, however when I click on a product and and use the Previous / Next buttons on the product info page I find the order of the product is not how I see them on the product listing. Looking at the order the previous / next is using I can see the order is based on the Product Name, so proucts with a Z in the name will be the last product in the previous next even if you have set it with a high sort order.

I hope what I just tried to explain makes sence, I will try to explain better if not.

Regards
Mark

Not really a bug. Just not what you expected.

Try Admin->Configuration->Product Listing->Display Product Listing Default Sort Order
The help text with it explains how the available options work.

I have tried added the options 2a, 2b ,1a etc into Admin->Configuration->Product Listing->Display Product Listing Default Sort Order Just to see what happens and i'm not sure if you undestand what behaviour I see.

I have the order I want in the product listing!

However if I click on the first product in the list and go into the product info the text above the previous and next buttons say "Product 5/5" this is not how I would expect it, it want it to say Product 1/5.

Thanks for your quick reply

Each Listing has its own sort order setting based on what you want it to default to ...

The Product _info page on the Prev/Next also has its own sort order as well ...

Configuration ... Product Info ...

Previous Next - Sort Order
Products Display Order by
0= Product ID
1= Product Name
2= Model
3= Price, Product Name
4= Price, Model
5= Product Name, Model
6= Product Sort Order

NOTE: for the Product Listing itself ... the sort order is defined by:

Display Product Listing Default Sort Order
Product Listing Default sort order?
NOTE: Leave Blank for Product Sort Order. Sort the Product Listing in the order you wish for the default display to start in to get the sort order setting. Example: 2a

This means ... based on the Product Listing ... Click on the Title of a field and look in the URL for the sort=XX

If you want the default to be your specific Products Sort Order that you set by numbered order, leave it blank ...

Many thanks for replying so quickly. The information you gave sorted out my problem. I did try my hardest to find an sort option for prev next, but I just couldn't see the wood for the trees. :)
