Sort attributes alphabetically in the dropdown menu

Override or customize the template:
Locate the template file that renders the filter combinations dropdown. This is often found in the admin/themes folder or the module's folder.

Open the relevant .tpl or .html.twig file.
Sort the attribute list before rendering it. For example, in PHP, you can use usort() to order the array of attributes alphabetically.

Modify the controller:
If the attribute data is retrieved from a controller, modify the query or function to include an ORDER BY clause (for example, ORDER BY name ASC).

Cache and Test:
After making modifications, clear the PrestaShop cache (under "Advanced Parameters > Performance") and test the attributes are displayed alphabetically.

hello thank you very much for the answer,

I tried to search in the theme folder both default and new-theme, but I did not find the right file.

could you tell me if there is a particular module that controls the products/combination section.

To achieve this, you need to make a single line change in the core file. Here is the path below.

https://github.com/PrestaShop/PrestaShop/blob/8.2.0/src/Adapter/Attribute/Repository/AttributeRepository.php#L124

You need to replace this line with the code below.

->addOrderBy('al.name', 'ASC')

Result:

hi Webkul

thanks a lot for the answer,

it works but halfway see image, it lists the attributes almost in alphabetical order, but in a strange way

[musicmaster]

Note that on the attribute page (catalog->attributes) you can define the order of the attributes

hi thanks for the reply,

but the attributes are already in order for the front, but in B.O I need them in alphabetical order to find them faster

Can you please share a screenshot of your attribute list in the back office (Instead of product editing)?

Thanks for sharing the image.

We have checked again at our end & everything is working fine once we implement the changes as we shared with you.

Can you please share the code image where you made changes?

The attributes in that screenshot are not in order. You need to manually drag them into order using the Cross in the position column, then they will be in order in the B.O and shop view.

No code editing is needed

Ray UK in front must remain so they are positioned correctly, in front they must not be in alphabetical order, I only need that in B.O.

Also, if you are using the latest prestashop, you can enable the "Experimental Product Page" and this has a "Select all" for the combinations.

Ahh sorry i must have missed that bit.  Yes what I suggest will sort them in the Front and Back.

Inoltre, se stai utilizzando l'ultimo prestashop, puoi abilitare la "Pagina del prodotto sperimentale" e questa ha un "Seleziona tutto" per le combinazioni.

sì grazie lo uso già, è esattamente lì che sto cercando di modificarli e metterli in ordine alfabetico

Would this change also order the column "Combination"?  Or is there a way to add a "Sortable" to that column.  It's annoying that when adding a new option, regardless of the name, it's always added to the bottom with no way of sorting them. (Im using the experimental product page)
