How to change Language order 1.6

[mechcalvin]

By default English is the first in language selector, how can I change other language to become the first?

[vekia]

at the moment it is not possible in prestashop (to order languages).

if you want to change order only in block languages addon - it requires customization of this module,

there is no other way sadly speaking

Thahks for your reply, i searched one of your old post in 1.5.6: https://www.prestashop.com/forums/topic/307439-how-can-change-the-order-of-language-flags-in-156/

 

this doesn't work anymore in 1.6? If it required to customization of the module, where should i look at?

this works in 1.6, just put on my shop...

 

I did not do an ovrride I  changed function directlly in classes/Language.php

	public static function loadLanguages()
	{
		self::$_LANGUAGES = array();

		$sql = 'SELECT l.*, ls.`id_shop`
				FROM `'._DB_PREFIX_.'lang` l
				LEFT JOIN `'._DB_PREFIX_.'lang_shop` ls ON (l.id_lang = ls.id_lang)ORDER BY l.name ASC
                ';

		$result = Db::getInstance()->executeS($sql);
		foreach ($result as $row)
		{
			if (!isset(self::$_LANGUAGES[(int)$row['id_lang']]))
				self::$_LANGUAGES[(int)$row['id_lang']] = $row;
			self::$_LANGUAGES[(int)$row['id_lang']]['shops'][(int)$row['id_shop']] = true;
		}
	}

Thanks, i did that but still English become the first because it is ordered by their language name, not ID, i want to be

ID=4, Traditional Chinese

ID=3, Simplify Chinese

ID=1, English

 

is it possible?

hi, mechcalvin

 

edit the code to below. it should show up the way you want.

 

LEFT JOIN `'._DB_PREFIX_.'lang_shop` ls ON (l.id_lang = ls.id_lang) ORDER BY l.id_lang DESC';

If you want change the order in Prestashop 1.6 / 1.7

Simply add an INTEGER field on the SQL table _lang  (ex: ordre_langue) and givethe order value to each langage

Then go to classes/Language.php and check for the function loadLanguages()

and add ORDER BY THE NEW field

$sql = 'SELECT l.*, ls.`id_shop`
                FROM `' . _DB_PREFIX_ . 'lang` l
                LEFT JOIN `' . _DB_PREFIX_ . 'lang_shop` ls ON (l.id_lang = ls.id_lang) ORDER BY `ordre_langue`';
