Sorting by price (work around)

[Instrument_Guy]

I thought I'd share this work around for those who may encounter a similar issue like what I fought with. When I attempted to sort by the product's price I noticed that prestashop did not properly sort by the sale price. I dug into it and discovered that there seemed to be 2 issues that prevented proper sorting. 1st. prestashop seems to calculate the pricing by Retail price with tax (non-sale price), not the sale price which is visible to customers. 2nd. if you use % discounts for some products and $ discounts for others prestashop will likely not sort the products properly. So to work around this, I made sure that the Retail prices of my products with tax fell in order to where it would be properly displayed in category view and I used % discounts only. Hopefully prestashop will address this in a later release to where the sorting by price is done by the price the customer sees and not hidden variables that they do not.

I'm personally running that version - doesn't help. Although, I just noticed in v1.3.0.1 release notes, it says: "fixed bug sorting products in catalog" I'm wondering if that is a fix for this issue. I'll try upgrading my cart and report back.

hi! don't upgrade with that alpha version for a running shop. That's only for testing only. When they release a stable version, do upgrade...see ya
