Sort of Products within a Category

Post by cbova » Wed Oct 19, 2011 8:22 am

The one thing I don't like about adding new products is that it adds it to the end of a category. Is there a way to have new products show at the top of the list? If not, is there a plug-in that will allow me to quickly sort products other than using the up and down arrows? In MIVA I was able to buy a plug-in that assigned temporary numbers to each item with 5 digit increments. You could then renumber and they would sort accordingly.

For example, I have some seasonal products that I would like to rotate to the top of the list depending on the time of year.

Look at this thread for more info: viewtopic.php?f=42&t=15151&p=64987

In summary, in order to follow the admin sort you'll need to use Category.CatalogNodes to get them back in the proper order. Look at CategoryGrid4 as an example.
