The default sort is alphabetical. Is there way to stop it from doing this and to sort by weight (not the weight of the product: -10 to 10 style used to order stuff?) The only weight i saw in the product edit page is for shipping weight.

Depending on how your catalog is...
You might want to use either "nodeorder" or "Node Queue" depending on how you set up your shop/catalog.
I'm using node queue to build my catalog.
Both modules are available on drupal.org
Re: Depending on how your catalog is...
I'll have a look at those modules. Thanks!
Re: Re: Depending on how your catalog is...
i couldn't get node order to work correctly. i am working with the "weight" module, but it doesn't seem to have an effect. in the uc_product table is there a way to add an invisible field so i can put the weight there. is there something in the code that tells tapir the default sort? i'm going to check it a bit, but if someone knows off the top of their head...
Product Sorting In Catalog
Ubercart does not support this yet. We are definitely working on this. Perhaps Ryan or Lyle can add this to there battle plan and give you a better idea of when it will be available. It should happen in the next month for sure.
Peace,

sorting
go to admin/store/settings/tables/uc_product_table (tapir settings) and change the display order changing which field is showing first (example, set weight of price to -4, or any other value under the rest to order by price).
Add option in Ubercart settings to select field for sorting
Maybe add an option in Ubercart settings for selecting sorting field and store it as variable_set('uc_catalog_sort_field',$value)?
And after that modify uc_catalog.module from
<?php
if (empty($_REQUEST['order'])){
$order = 'p.ordering, n.title';
}
?>to
<?php
if (empty($_REQUEST['order'])){
$order = variable_get('uc_catalog_sort_field','p.ordering').', n.title';
}
?>For example, for using nodeorder sorting method you can set variable as variable_set('uc_catalog_sort_field','tn.weight_in_tid').
Re: Add option in Ubercart settings to select field for sorting
That is something I'd be interested in as well, having certain catalog pages automatically sorted by a specified field in the table
Hi,
I would love to know how
Hi,
I would love to know how to do this. Has it been implemented yet? If so, where can I find out more?
Cheers,

Solution
I found this posted in another thread:
http://www.ubercart.org/forum/support/814/product_sort_order_weight
It's not perfect, but at least it allows for Product name sorting.
You need to set this sort order when creating your Product. Like I said, it's not perfect but it met my immediate need.
