Sorting Products

[Guest Alirat]

When customers browse for products they are not automatically coming up alphabetically. Is there any way to make this the default behaviour?

Hi

First, in General Settings, under the styles & Misc tab, set Display newest products first to No.

Next, open includes/content/viewCat.inc.php and find this block of code (around line 95)...

	$orderSort = sprintf(' ORDER BY %s %s', $_GET['sort_by'], $orderType);

} else {

	if ($config['cat_newest_first']) {

		$orderSort = sprintf(' ORDER BY `date_added` DESC, `name` ASC');

	} else {

		$orderSort = false;

	}

}

Change it to....

	$orderSort = sprintf(' ORDER BY %s %s', $_GET['sort_by'], $orderType);

} else {

	if ($config['cat_newest_first']) {

		$orderSort = sprintf(' ORDER BY `date_added` DESC, `name` ASC');

	}  else {

		$orderSort = sprintf(' ORDER BY `name` ASC');

	}

}
