Make Cheapest Shipping Show Up First -- UPS

[srturner47]

Is there a way to make the cheapest shipping options show up first with UPS? Right now, the highest price shipping option is listed first. I'd like to reverse the order, making it lowest to highest.

Thanks!

I'm still looking for a way to do this... If anyone has any ideas I sure would appreciate it. It would be really nice for my customers to see the cheapest option first.

Thanks!

Zen Cart's normal behavior is to auto-select the cheapest shipping option.
If yours isn't doing that, then you're not using original Zen Cart code ... perhaps you've made customizations to your site that have caused that behavior to not function correctly.

Or ... are you saying you want them to show in price-sorted order?

I believe the default sort order from UPS is fastest-to-slowest, not cheapest-to-most expensive.

Exactly! It does pick the cheapest shipping option.

I am concerned about the sort order. I'd rather it sort from cheapest at the top to most expensive at the bottom instead of by speed.

I want the first thing my customer see to be cheap! :)

Thanks!

Around line 180 of your usp.php shipping module file, you'll see code that looks like this:

        $methods[] = array('id' => $type,
                           'title' => $this->types[$type],
                           'cost' => ($cost + MODULE_SHIPPING_UPS_HANDLING) * $shipping_num_boxes);
      }

      $this->quotes['methods'] = $methods;

Make a few adjustments, like this:

        $methods[] = array('cost' => ($cost + MODULE_SHIPPING_UPS_HANDLING) * $shipping_num_boxes,
                           'id' => $type,
                           'title' => $this->types[$type]);
      }
      sort($methods);

      $this->quotes['methods'] = $methods;

Thank you, thank you, thank you! That worked like a charm. I also did the same thing for USPS without any problems.

I appreciate the help! :)
