Product Listing Default Sort Order

[tracyselena]

Hi,
In the last post you say to:

"go to the Product Listing on your site and click the headers until you are in the right order ... then, look in the URL for the &sort=#x and enter your #x for the sort order ..."

but I don't have headers when I look at my product listing.

I have the same issue as Tracy. I don't have headers that are clickable in my catalog - eg http://prestonribbons.com/catalog/in...dex&cPath=17_5 - and I don' see sort= in the url of the browser. Do I need to try all possible combinates of number-letter to find the right combo to make this work?

Thanks

Display Product Listing Default Sort Order

2a
3a
4a

Follow up to this thread.

Can you sort by model number without displaying it in the product listing?

[ronlee67]

Don't know but you could try by displaying model number temporarily and obtaining the full url mentioned earlier. Cut and paste it somewhere like notepad. Then go ahead and enter the sort order number (2a, 3a, etc.) into the Product Listing Default Sort Order.

After doing that, turn the display of the model number back off. Now try to go to the url you saved earlier and if things display in the expected order chances are it will work. Now simply check it by:
1. close your browser (or clear your cache)
2. open your browser again and navigate back to your product listing and see if it is still in the proper order. My guess is that it will be the way you want.

This may not be the right area but my question is..

How do I get a different sort order for linked products? For example...

I have a widget that needs to be in multiple categories, but needs to be sorted differently in one of the other categories.

I have been looking around but haven't found my answer yet. I appreciated everyone's time.

Thanks,

I am having problems with this and have read this post and others as well as tried various things, I hope I am just missing something and someone can help me with this ---- The URL is http://blockislandhoney.com/ go to either Candles or Novelties to see the problem, For example Novelties, The product listing page is set up in the correct order that my client wants it to be, I used SORT ORDER field to do this, However, when you click on the Yoga CD, the first product, you go to it's product page and it says it is Product 4/7.... It should be 1/7.... then if you click on Next you should see the Calendar which is the next product on the Product Listing page and according to the sort order, but you don't see the calendar. Any general or specific help would be appreciated, if you need to know more about various settings I can provide the information.

I have the " Column grid display " I cannot get the sort value of each product to sort properly. For instance.. I can sort by name, no proplem..

Apples sort value = 10
Bananas sort value = 10
Pineapple sort value = 10

if I change sort value = 10 to sort value = 1 for pineapple, it still appears at the end of the list..

What am I doing wrong?

thanks

I'm having the same problem. It's driving me nuts! Did you ever found the solution to it? or does anyone know the solution to this?

I installed this mod and it works… until I click on “product” column that change display order adding “&sort=2a” to URL.

There is a SQL error (double “order by” clausole)

The SQL string ends with:

“….. and p2c.categories_id = ‘97′order by p.products_date_added DESC order by ]”

Any easy fix for this?

Thank you, Antonello.
