Attributes in Product listed in wrong order

[barco57]

how about the sort settings in the attributes controller?

Okay, that worked.

Can this program get any more piece-meal? It's very apparent that it was created by a group rather than an individual -- maybe one of the experts can some day clean the redundancies out of the system...

Thanks.

The admin side is due for a rewrite in version 1.6, I believe, but the different sort orders for the attributes are there for different reasons. The sort order under the attributes controller is for fine tweaking the attributes if you added attributes in the option name/value willy nilly (like all set to 0, lazy).......blah, blah, blah. Its early and it a explination that takes awhile to type out....if you want more be happy to when I have a little more time

ok I just test in my cart. I went to option name manager and changes the sort order of my size and count option names. They switched positions on the product info page for me.
So based on that, go to option name manager and change the sort order for roof racks and ladders. See what happens.

I did this and you can see the screen shot of my option name manager in my previous post. Ladders has order no. 180 and Roof Racks order no. 140. So it should work, but it doesn't


@ajeh, I also set the Sort Order in Attributes Controller and I also tried to update sort order there, but none of it works, I will attach another screenshot of the Attributes Controller of this product.

Check that the actual Product in the Attributes Controller also has the Sort Order set ... and not just to the defaults in the Option Values Manager ...

NOTE: There is an Update Sort Order on the Attributes Controller when viewing the Product ...

Thanks a lot

On the Configuration ... Product Info ... you have the setting for:

Products Info - Products Option Name Sort Order
Sort order of Option Names for Products Info
0= Sort Order, Option Name
1= Option Name

Set to what?

Now it works, I had it on 1 . I would never find it without your help. Thanks a bunch. You made my day

[barco57]

I'm having a similar problem my Attributes in admin is listed in wrong order.

When I check my orders or invoices the attributes are all messed up, they are fine in the user end as well as in the user's shopping cart but in the admin end after the customer checks out I get the info mixed up

Instead of:
- : (+$14.85)
- Name: David & Frances
- Date: December 19
- Year: 09

I get:
- Date: December 19
- Name: David & Frances
- : (+$14.85)
- Year: 09

i got the invoice and packing slip options sort order fixed.

Every option has its own sort order - The default

The options can be arranged differently for a specific product, when you add an option to a product by the “Prices and Weights” there is an order field. To change back to the default simply press the “update sort” button at the top of the page (product must be selected to show button)

If however you copied the options to categories lots of mix-ups can happen (in the admin – when you view the order, invoice, packing slip) even the default order will not be sported some times (I do not know whyhttp://www.zen-cart.com/forum/images/smilies/blink.gif- I think it’s an alphabetical sort or some other)
Just run some tests on each category to make sure its displaying correctly in the invoice etc.
If not fix that product’s sort order, and copy to category.
