 I read a month old post talking about this, but it wasn't too satisfying. Has the ability to sort products other than alphabetically been implemented? Usually this is done by assigned numerical "weight" (not mass, but weight i guess as in "importance") Anyhow- we are trying to put our site up live this week and this is one of the last glitches- as we have a gazillion products we never really sell showing up in front of our best sellers.   
Re: Product Sort order (weight)
I actually implemented this just yesterday. If you have access to the Bazaar repository, you can use this feature immediately. If not, I hear that there's another release planned for the end of the week, so you won't have to wait too long regardless.
Re: Re: Product Sort order (weight)
I'm running uc v 1.6.2.2 and this functionality does not still seem to be included. Was is taken out of the core at any point? Any ideas about how else to do it?
Re: Re: Re: Product Sort order (weight)
It wasn't taken out, but it was renamed. It's now "List ordering", and it's the last field in the Product Information fieldset, right before the Shipping settings.
sort order
I'd prefer not to use the List Order because my store will have a lot of items and I'd like to complete flexibility when adding them in the future. So instead I created a hidden CCK field called Sort Order, (where I can enter 1, 2, 2A, 3, 3A, 3B, etc...) but even though I configure it as the sort criteria my views always list products strictly in according to node title. Is there a way to stop the Node Title over-riding the sort criteria? By the way, I could be wrong, but I think when I tried the List Order the Node Title still overrides it? Also, I've laid out products in a table and there is an option arrow to change the Node Title order (reverse it, I also have one for the Sell Price). But I'd like the view not to have that option to sort by Node Title. However, I wouldn't mind having other fields in the table being sort-able. Is this somehow possible? To remove the sort option on Node Title field but enable it on others?
Re: sort order
The Table style for Views is interesting because it provides a way to sort the View completely separately from the Sorts that you add to it. If you click on the gear icon next to "Style: Table" you can find the settings for it. If you tell it to sort the view, it will override any other Sorts on the View. This is also where you can decide which columns can be click-sorted. |
