Product listing sort order

Your mistaken, this thread refers to code that appeared in osC2.2 in order to locate the area that requires alteration, it did not call for the code to be changed,

 

ie 2.2 has the line:

 

if ( (!isset($HTTP_GET_VARS['sort'])) || (!ereg('^[1-8][ad]$', $HTTP_GET_VARS['sort'])) || (substr($HTTP_GET_VARS['sort'], 0, 1) > sizeof($column_list)) ) {

 

which was unchanged by this mod.

 

but in 2.3 that line became

 if ( (!isset($HTTP_GET_VARS['sort'])) || (!preg_match('/^[1-8][ad]$/', $HTTP_GET_VARS['sort'])) || (substr($HTTP_GET_VARS['sort'], 0, 1) > sizeof($column_list)) ) {

 

which should also be left un-changed, what you did was replace the new 2.3 code with old 2.2 code un-neccesarily

 

Also as the page Bruyndoncx pointed states, you cannot simply replace ereg with preg, you must use the appropriate replacement function and modify the regex.

Huh. Admittedly, I didn't read the first post all that carefully. I found that the line you mentioned fit the pattern, hence I went about replacing those. This calls for a review.

I have read through the thread, but can't seem to find any solution to showing products by latest added first. I have tried all the things I have seen here (and because the first post had some now obsolete code, I tried to just remove the lines removed, etc) So is there anyway to show latest added product first in the product listing? The best I could get was showing the first one added as the first item, but when I switched the page number it went back to alphabetically again.. =/ I have the latest version of osc.
