[Solved] Categories Sorting

[jsmcody]

Alright ladies and gents,

 

I am needed to order the Categories in a way OTHER than alphabetically.  I will not do 1)Category 2)Category etc, because that looks ridiculous.

 

Is there a way, or a module that will do this for me, or something I need to wait for on the next release.

 

Thanks in advance

What order you want it to be? IF you want it order by category name or something , you can edit the file

 

classes/Category.php

 

and look for the static method "getCategories"

 

and alter the "ORDER BY" line.

 

hope this helps.

Hi everybody

 

Sorry jsmcody, even if it is ridiculous, currently it is the only way.

But it is possible to develop a module which make it for you 8)

Unfortunatly it is far to be one of our priority right now.

So if you feel comfortable to make it, we'll really appreciate it

If I had the time or the experience I would code it right now, but we're currently using Prestashop for our store in production with a bunch of other stuff going on in store.

...Sorry jsmcody, even if it is ridiculous, currently it is the only way...

And don't get me wrong, I'm saying the way I have it looks ridiculous, not the fact it can only be sorted one way.  I have nothing to say but good things about Prestashop, it coders, and its forums  ;D

 

Also, sorry for doubleposting  :

I'm looking for a different way to order the categories too. Will tell you if I find a solution.

Uh.... I'm pretty sure v1.0RC2 includes the update that allows categories to be named like this:

1.First Category

2.Second Category

3.Third Category

 

but which will show up on the front office as:

 

First Category

Second Category

Third Category
