    Default Re: latest products

    Each of the Listings have their own default sort order for:
    All Listing
    Featured Listing
    New Lisiting

    where you have the choices of, for example on Featured Listing:
    Display Product Display - Default Sort Order
    What Sort Order Default should be used for Featured Product Display?
    Default= 1 for Product Name

    1= Products Name
    2= Products Name Desc
    3= Price low to high, Products Name
    4= Price high to low, Products Name
    5= Model
    6= Date Added desc
    7= Date Added
    8= Product Sort Order
    The Product Listing for the Categories has Sort Orders available based on the displayed data fields, but products_date_added is not one of them ... you would have to customize the code for that ...

    Specials are sorted based specials_date_added an that is in the main_template_vars.php for the specials page, if you need to change it ...

    Doing a search on:
    products_date_added

    will show you quite a few threads on change SELECT statements for various areas of the Catalog, such as:
