Hello @Littlepants

Hello
for me in version 1.7.5.2 it is done by moving the cursor. I'm looking for a way to move the product into the catechism. In the old versions there was such a cursor for the products. if you remember help please.
Thanks

I want to change the order of the products in the category. In the photo I show how the categories are arranged. Just move the black cursor. Unfortunately, this is not available for arranging products in categories.

I have version 1.7.7 and it does not allow me to reorder the categories as per your image.
do i have to enable that thing first?

I am attaching a screen:

You should see it when you hover with your mouse over a category

and this is the strange thing because passing over it with the mouse nothing happens. I looked even if there is some particular setting that maybe I missed but nothing.

It should work for Prestashop 1.7.7 if you want we can have a look at it, there are no settings in Prestashop that changes this behaviour.

I am guessing a custom module is causing a javascript error which blocks the javascript hover function to work correctly.

how can we do to check?

I add something to confirm what you say: some sub-categories on the desktop side (not all) if selected they return an empty category and instead they have products inside. example this: https://www.thzinformatica.it/41-ricondizionati-computer

To check if it is a javascript error you have to open your browser console (inspector panel) which comes with browsers like Chrome and Firefox

I solved the problem of the filter on the categories, in practice the problem depended on the upstream management system that sncronizes quantities and products on prestashop.
Now there is only one problem inherent in moving up and down by drag & drop of the categories.

I wonder if it could depend on the theme used that maybe it was the developer who blocked this feature, is it possible?

The backoffice should not have any issues with the front office. the drag and drop function should be accessable.

Hello
if you are in a multistore context, the drag and drop function is only available when choosing one of the store

Hi, please, help me. I´m going crazy! I have 118 categories, I need to order them by name and I need it in the front alphabetically, but I have two pages to do it (please see att)

I need to take the category "Video Games" to the next page to put it in order, but it is not possible.

Best way is to do it on database table. I have struggle with my client filters that way. And now it is set in right.

I think I found a solution. You have to sort the categories by position. When I sort them by position, I can see small icon when I hover on the left side of the checkbox next to the ID number, clicking that icon I can drag categories to order them. If I sort by any other option icon doesn't show.
