Best thing is not to rely on this kind of manipulation of the product names because this is a string field and therefore not sorted logically like numerical fields. Take a look at this contribution which gives a sort field to the individual products. HTH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timskorch Posted January 7, 2007 Author Share Posted January 7, 2007 Thank you I'll check out the contribution. I guess I should have explained that the number is part of the item name and really what defines the item, the rest of the name is pretty much the same between items per category so I'm pretty much locked in to this "kind of manipulation" by my products very nature.
