Is it possible to assign the sort order of categories using EP4? I currently populate all of my categories using the CategoryMeta file, but I can't find a way of assigning the sort order

Thanks in advance for any suggestions

Kind Regards

John

Category specific information should be available through the category export/import. I think that was also discussed within the last couple of pages or so as well.

I went back 15 pages but was not able to find any relevant info.

I am using the Full Category export and import features to update my category meta data, but there is no field in either of the category import/export files to specify the category sort-order. Is there any way to add that field please?

Is the 4.0.26 compatible with ZC 1.5.1? or it is for 1.5.3 only?

There has been no compatibility change in the software. While it is in the best interest of a store owner to upgrade to the most recent/stable version for many reasons, the software is written to continue support for all versions that it has previously been written, which I believe at this time is considered 1.3.9 through 1.5.3 with exception that 1.5.2 was not factored into the compatibility as it was not a formal release and really should not be used in a production environment anyways.

So, short answer, yes it is compatible with 1.5.1 also.

That's awesome MC, thank you so much. I was expecting you to come back and say "No, it can't be done", I wasn't expecting a new release that addresses my problem perfectly! Thanks again, I love your work

Kind Regards

Though I'm likely to regret saying this. :) there is little that can't be done with the code to do what is desired within ZC. Some things just take longer than others. :) and some things are just not within the capability of the individual, but that's also what this whole open source stuff is about, can't do personally (for any number of reasons: on vacation, doing other paying work, need to learn something, etc...), someone else probably can. :)

And to be honest, I was a little surprised that the issue wasn't already covered seeing how much great stuff this little program already handles. I keep saying it's pretty powerful and chadderuski did a great job of converting the old stuff into this.

Just wanted to report back and let you know that the update worked perfectly. Thanks very much again MC (and of course to Chad)
