Sort by Model Number

[janellez]

Hi -

I want to make the default sort order for all products to be based on the Model Number. I've asked the cart to display the model number and I've gone into the "All Listing" and set the default sort order as 5 (for Model Number). I've gone into the product listing and changed the default sort order to 5a (I'm not sure I understand this setting). Still, when I go to main listing of my categories and then drill down to a product listing, the sort order still seems to be alphabetical.

Any ideas? Am I missing something? Here's a link - lauschacanada.com/shop

Thanks!

P.S. I realize that you can click on the headings in the product listing to re-sort by product number but I really want to do this as a default. I'm trying to avoid putting the model number before the product name just to get products to sort numerically by model number.

Sort the listing and use the setting you see for the &sort=#x

Thank you very much - it just didn't seem that intuitive but now it makes perfect sense. Thanks!
