Attributes in Product listed in wrong order

[Ajeh]

Check that the actual Product in the Attributes Controller also has the Sort Order set ... and not just to the defaults in the Option Values Manager ...

NOTE: There is an Update Sort Order on the Attributes Controller when viewing the Product ...

I am having trouble getting the sort order of attributes to show correctly my option list of quantities.

Product is business card order
I have an option for quantity that has attributes of 250, 500, 1000, 2000.
Obviously I want them in order, but even though I have set the 'default' order (misnomer) in 2 places in the admin area (catalog>option value and catalog>option value sorter), they show in the order in which I entered them, not the sort order I am specifying.

They look correct in admin, but don't show correct in store.

Thanks.

how about the sort settings in the attributes controller?

Okay, that worked.

Can this program get any more piece-meal? It's very apparent that it was created by a group rather than an individual -- maybe one of the experts can some day clean the redundancies out of the system...

Thanks.

The admin side is due for a rewrite in version 1.6, I believe, but the different sort orders for the attributes are there for different reasons. The sort order under the attributes controller is for fine tweaking the attributes if you added attributes in the option name/value willy nilly (like all set to 0, lazy).......blah, blah, blah. Its early and it a explination that takes awhile to type out....if you want more be happy to when I have a little more time

@barco57

ok I just test in my cart. I went to option name manager and changes the sort order of my size and count option names. They switched positions on the product info page for me.
So based on that, go to option name manager and change the sort order for roof racks and ladders. See what happens.

I did this and you can see the screen shot of my option name manager in my previous post. Ladders has order no. 180 and Roof Racks order no. 140. So it should work, but it doesn't


@ajeh, I also set the Sort Order in Attributes Controller and I also tried to update sort order there, but none of it works, I will attach another screenshot of the Attributes Controller of this product.

On the Configuration ... Product Info ... you have the setting for:

Products Info - Products Option Name Sort Order
Sort order of Option Names for Products Info
0= Sort Order, Option Name
1= Option Name

Set to what?

Now it works, I had it on 1 . I would never find it without your help. Thanks a bunch. You made my day
