Attribute defualt & sort order not displaying properly

[mattys]

In admin I have set the sort order for this product's attributes http://www.jarbon.com/dev/index.php?...roducts_id=191, but when you look at the product on the front end the the attributes are not sorted properly, order should be:

0 teal blue
1 crimson red
2 natural white
3 moss
4 dove grey

instead it's:

<select name="id[3]" onclick="" id="attrib-3" class="sbaselectlist">
  <option value="66">moss</option>
  <option value="370">natural white</option>
  <option value="558">crimson red</option>
  <option value="559">dove grey</option>
  <option value="560">teal blue</option>
</select>

I tried everything on this thread https://www.zen-cart.com/showthread....not-responding

When i 'Update All Products' Attribute Sort Orders' it just clears any previously set attribute sort order settings so i have to enter again and when i do enter the sort order on the front end is still incorrect.

As you can see above it seems to be ordering by value ID, lowest first. Sorting order for each value via the attributes controller doesn't appear to be working, but i don't know why.

I'm not sure if there is something I am missing, if anyone can see anything it might be please let me know!

Thanks

What are your Stock By Attributes settings, from where was the software obtained, and when?

[mattys]

Hi, i think you helped me upgrade SBA it so worked on newer versions of zencart.

I will find out what the SBA settings are.

What about the dynamic dropdowns configuration?

There was a change that came about to resolve that issue, but the issue seemed to only apply to dynamic dropdown related issues.

[mattys]

The sort order of attributes on this page which has dynamic dropdowns is correct https://www.jarbon.com/alpaca-socks/...t-socks-adults

but, if you look at the code for the colour dynamic dropdown, the options values are in order:

<select name="id[3]" id="attrib-3" onchange="i3(this.form);">  <option value="0" selected="selected">Next select colour</option>
<option value="538" disabled="">peacock / smoke contrast - Unavailable </option><option value="539">avocado / heather contrast </option><option value="540">blossom / sky blue contrast </option><option value="541" disabled="">heather / peacock contrast - Unavailable </option></select>

the option values and sort order in attributes controller seem to tally, where as in the example at the start of this thread they do not.

So the question is what is the setting for enable dynamic dropdowns as presented in configurations->dynamic dropdowns. It should be set to multiple attributes only at this point (work is needed on the single attribute option to prevent exactly what you're seeing when using single attribute product and to address several other issues).

Otherwise, this issue is not being seen in the current version of the software when using the potteryhouse developed single attribute dropdown as the option name type.

ah, sorry, i see now

Is set to multiple attributes only.

[mattys]

i can see that i may be able to sort this by tweaking the dynamic drop down settings, will give it a go, thanks for help so far

Don't know if you have already modified something, but I see that the sort order is "correct" as desired.
