AC 7.04 enhancement question

[mfreeze]

The change log for the 7.4 says 'Category display should default sort to admin specified order'. Does that apply for all category grid pages such as categorygridpage which displays products from multiple subcategories? I know the work around did not work for these pages in 7.03.

Hello Mary,

Since those pages do include 'multiple subcategories' of products I'm doubtful that it includes the grid pages, but I'll find out what page(s) this change log applies to.

Hello Mary,

The bug report has good details on the change.

Here's the files that were affected.

ConLib\CategoryGridPage2.ascx
ConLib\CategoryGridPage3.ascx
ConLib\CategoryGridPage4.ascx
ConLib\CategoryListPage.ascx

Yeah, this is not working for me.

Using the default CategoryGridControl.ascx, no modifications. CommerceBuilder build 13541.

When you browse to the category page and have not selected an item from the sort order list, the items are not sorted at all and actually the pager controls do not work. If I go to any page (2, 3, 4, ...) it pulls up the same items. So the user can not see anymore than the first 15 that get pulled up.

Strangely, if you select to sort by name or price, everything is fine.

So for now I just removed the first line of the sort list and it defaults to Name Asc sort, which is fine for this instance but I'd like to know what is going on.

Anybody have any ideas or see the same problem?
