Easy question regarding product listing

[kronnyq]

How do I make the default listing sort by model ? I can't find it anywhere in admin.

in catalog/index.php around line 245

find

 ? ? ? ?if ($column_list[$i] == 'PRODUCT_LIST_NAME') {
? ? ? ? ?$HTTP_GET_VARS['sort'] = $i+1 . 'a';
? ? ? ? ?$listing_sql .= " order by p.products_date_added desc";
? ? ? ? ?break;
? ? ? ?}

 

If you change $listing_sql

 ? ? ? ?if ($column_list[$i] == 'PRODUCT_LIST_MODEL') {
? ? ? ? ?$HTTP_GET_VARS['sort'] = $i+1 . 'a';
? ? ? ? ?$listing_sql .= " order by p.products_model ";
? ? ? ? ?break;
? ? ? ?}

you'll always sort by model in ascending order by default on the categories pages.

 

You'd have to make similar changes in advanced_search_result as well.
