How to change the order of products

[esm]

Hi,

 

Is it possible to change the order of products. I have only two products in a certain category and I'd like to reverse the order of the two, if possible.

 

Any hints?

 

Thanks,

Have a look in the addons area, there are several there to change product order.

They might currently be unsorted (indeterminate order), or sorted on date added, alphabetically, price, product number, etc. (or even truly randomly). If there is no way to control it the way you want, look into the add-ons as Steve suggested. Check carefully as to which product display pages it will be applied to (categories, specials, new products, etc.). Note that without some custom coding, this sorting method will probably apply to all pages, not just the one category you want to apply it to. It might be easier to just do some custom coding to add an ORDER BY some criteria for just that one category number, rather than applying the add-on's sort to all, and having to add code anyway to disable it on all but one category (if you don't want to sort all pages that way). Anyway, read up on the add-ons first, especially how widely they'll be applied, and decide whether you need to restrict their action to one category.

Sounds complicated.

 

Thanks for the info. I didn't realize that product numbering would be that involved.

Here is a category with 2 products:

If the person browsing the shop clicks the headings along the top they can be sorted.

 

Is that what you are missing? Or is it something else that you require?
