Change Order of items?

[massdigitalmedia]

Is it possible to change the order of items in a specific category? I am aware I can change the category order, but my customer would like to have specific items show up higher in the list. Any help is appreciated.

 

Thanks!

No. Currently, osC uses ASCII sort order (100 comes before 2). I am about to change this to 'natural' sort order which is what a human reader would expect.

 

I would also like to implement a products sort order, but this is down the road. Is there a contribution already for this?

 

I'll post to this or the contributions forum when realized.

So, if I number my products in a certain category, they will show up in the order I want them to correct?

I've tried numbering products using ASCII sort order, but nothing works. I've tried the products name and the model and neither work to "sort" the items.

I'm still auditing code. I'm not certain yet how to modify the sort by the database query and optionally by the rendering code. Though the user can choose to sort a product listing by product_name (ascending or descending) at the link at the top of the listing table.

 

Please post examples of your product_model and product_name.
