Product Listing - sort by date added

[Seth22]

I have used the "Product_listing_MS2" contribution, it's great. The only think I would like to change is to be able to sort by the date the product was added. I understand the easiest way is just to hard code it in product_listing.php, but I can't figure out where to do it. Any thoughts? Here is my code (default of the contribution):

 

 

<?php

/*

$Id: product_listing.php,v 1.44 2003/06/09 22:49:43 hpdl Exp $

*/

 

$listing_split = new splitPageResults($listing_sql, MAX_DISPLAY_SEARCH_RESULTS, 'p.products_id');

 

if ( ($listing_split->number_of_rows > 0) && ( (PREV_NEXT_BAR_LOCATION == '1') || (PREV_NEXT_BAR_LOCATION == '3') ) ) {

?>

 

<table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2">

<tr>

<td class="smallText"><?php echo $listing_split->display_count(TEXT_DISPLAY_NUMBER_OF_PRODUCTS); ?></td>

<td class="smallText" align="right"><?php echo TEXT_RESULT_PAGE . ' ' . $listing_split->display_links(MAX_DISPLAY_PAGE_LINKS, tep_get_all_get_params(array('page', 'info', 'x', 'y'))); ?></td>

</tr>

</table>

<?php

}

 

$list_box_contents = array();

 

if ($listing_split->number_of_rows > 0) {

$listing_query = tep_db_query($listing_split->sql_query);

 

$row = 0;

$column = 0;

while ($listing = tep_db_fetch_array($listing_query)) {

 

$product_contents = array();

 

for ($col=0, $n=sizeof($column_list); $col<$n; $col++) {
