Change Products Sort on Manufacturers Page

[arapogiannis]

Hello there, i need to set a custom order for products in Manufacturers Page. Is there a way to do it by modifying anything? I see it sorts by name by default. 

 

Is there a paid plugin that does the work as well?

 

Thank you,

Every grid has a controller for it. Although to change the sorting you will have to override the class that is used to retrieve the items. So I'm guessing the Manufacturers class is the one you need to override

Hello, unlikely the manufacturers.php file in classes only controls the appearence of how manufacturers are retrieved and not the products inside those manufacturers. I am trying to find it but i can't.

Sry I missunderstood your question! The category class is about the grids and how the products are retrieved.

Yes but this category is handled differently than all others. I am sorting all other as i want via the controller but not this one..

I checked the manufacturers controller and class and as I can see the method that is called to retrieve the products is the getProducts() from the manufacturers class. There you can add the coded needed for your custom ordering in the sql query
