Change the order of products

[rusty1001]

Hi

 

is there a way to reorder products in the product page, say you want to 1234 product to be next 1233, etc as they are not becuse they put in at different time?? but in some cases you dont want it sequential as they are different products of different numbers, but the same type of product,

 

 

Thanks,

i had the same problem and ended up adding a new field to the products table (sorting_order), re-writing the product_listing.php script (adding the sorting_order to the ORDER BY in the sql ), making a new script for admin to adjust sorting order. all the above was quite time consuming, but the results proved worthwhile. i do not know if this the reply you wanted, but i hope it helps.

Yes , thanks - could be uselful sometime,

 

but I did actually solve this in a simple way, alphabetically , I added a word prefix to the product name, then that grouped in the same area, ie if I had a cups I added -- Large Cups - green Large Cups - red but could OUR BRAND cup - red etc, some people may start with - red LARGE cup and then is out of order, also helps with the searching as this will be in the search text...
