wsod Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 How does osCommerce sort products, saved in a category? I thought they were sorted by date (last in, first out), but there's no apparent pattern. :-( I have a category with five products in it. They are not sorted by date, not alphabetically, not by quantity and not by price. It appears the order is random. How can that be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack_mcs Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 There isn't any sort code for products built-in. You need to install one of the product sort contributions.

wsod Posted April 26, 2011 Author Share Posted April 26, 2011 Really? No sort order at all per default? Wow... :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
♥toyicebear Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 A default install of OSC v2.31 sort products by name (ascending) in the category view, you can also change the sort descending or by price by clicking on the "column" headers.

Jack_mcs Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 Really? No sort order at all per default? Wow... :-( That's correct. That's the whole purpose of contributions. They provide functions that are not in the core code.

Hotclutch Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 Read this: http://www.oscommerce.com/forums/topic/308798-product-listing-sort-order/ You don't have to change alot of code to sort by something more useful such as price etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wsod Posted April 27, 2011 Author Share Posted April 27, 2011 As it turned out, the products were actually alphabetized, as they ought to be per default. I was confused because some of the product names had European decimals (with commas), which placed them in a weird spot. I managed to change the sort order, by modifying a line of code in index.php. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
