Category List Page: Item Sort Order - Gold R9

AbleCommerce GoldR9 (build 7670)
CategoryListPage.ascx

Hi,

When this display is assigned to a category, the products listed do not follow the sort order shown in Admin. I understand from our Able Angel that categorygridpages won't sort that way because it is pulling items from several categories and each category will have a product in first place. Is there a way to achieve this for the Category List Page so it works like Category Grid 4 as far as sort order?

Thanks!
Julie

Edit
Just pass "OrderBy ASC" as sort expression and hopefully it will do the trick.

Code: Select all

<asp:ListItem Text="" Value="OrderBy ASC"></asp:ListItem>
..............
..............
..............

I think this will load the items in admin order unless some one choose a different sort.

Hi Mazhar,

I'm sorry, I literally just saw this and will need to update the email used for notifications. Thanks for replying. Order by ASC was the first step. Unfortunately, while that did successfully display items in ascending order, it did not match the order of items in admin. I can't tell what would be causing this in the list page view.

Thanks
Julie

Check to see if the first few products are set to featured within the product record. From what I recall, it sorts with featured items displayed first and then matches the order of the admin.

For my tests with few products under a category following does helps.

Code: Select all

<asp:ListItem Text="" Value="OrderBy ASC"></asp:ListItem>
