Available Options - setting order

[Bear47]

I have shirts as a product and under available options - Size - Small/Medium/Large/X-Large

 

However they do not display in any logical order:

 

X-Large

Medium

Small

Large

Go to the edit page for the sub-categories and in the box were it says sort order change:

 

Small - 1

Medium - 2

Large - 3

X-large - 4

 

As a default they will all be 0.

 

That will sort the items in the correct order.

Yes, the categories are in order since I use the sort order - but the size appears as a drop down box within the product and the order of the items is not correct. There is no option to specify a sort order on an Option Value.

 

My needs are not that complex - I'm only implementing shirts with sizes for the customer - but this would seem to be a big problem to install a clothing store. I worked on some software for this a few years ago, and that needs to have a multiple dimension matrix for SKU's to handle sizes and colors, etc.

 

Is the display order random or based on the order that it was added to the mySQL table? I don't want to enter size each time I enter a new shirt, and probably need to write a PHP hack to stick them directly into the table.

Check the contributions link at the top of the forum pages for the many available attribute managing contributions. They vary in function and complexity; choose the one that seems to best suit your needs.
