Sort products by model number

Hi,

All my products have a model number in detailed view. Can I sort my products by using the model number :oops:

Re: Sort products by model number

Sort where, exactly?

If you mean on the index products list page, go to your admin, then Configuration --> Product Listing.

Give the Display Product Model a number other than 0. Then, in Display Product Listing Default Sort Order, change it to whatever number you used plus 'a'. So, if you made the Display Product Model = 4, then Display Product Listing Default Sort Order would be '4a' (without the quotes).

Hi again,

I have tried this but the products want sort after product model. Could there be any other settings that override my settings ?

I am talking about sorting them after product model for the customers to see.... Not the admin panel

Really not clear on what you mean by this.

That place in the admin that I mentioned above is where you change it FOR the public view ... there are numerous places this can be over-ridden, and no way to even guess where without looking at your site.

Can you provide a link as well as a mock-up showing how exactly you want the products sorted?
