{solved}how can arrange catalogue order ?

[makaraci]

Hi,

For eg ,

my products catalogue is shown like this :

car
soap
services
others

I want to order them like this :

soap
car
services
others

How can i do it ?

I did it on 1.1 version by writing

01. soap
02.car
03.services
04.others

but it doesnt work on 1.3.1 .What is the solution ?

You can use the arrows in the "Position" column to change the order of products on the Catalog tab. You can click the arrow to move it one position or drag the area behind the arrow up or down to move it multiple positions at a time. If you want the products displayed in the same order on your website, you'll need to go to Preferences > Products and make sure that "Default order by" is "Position inside category" and "Default order way" is "Ascending".

there is no position column on the main categories column .there is position columng on sub categories column but no main categories column

[rocky]

I see. I thought you were talking about products. In that case, you are doing it the right way. Adding 01., 02., etc in front of the category name should work in PrestaShop v1.3.1 also.

it doesnt work

It's working for me. How is it not working for you? Is the prefix disappearing like it should? Are the categories still alphabetically with the prefixes?

same issue here.

i tried numbering them in the title and all it didnt change it the order or hide the prefix.

any ideas?

thx

Edit: Actually it does work. Make sure there is a decimal place after the number and before the title. eg
01.bass guitars
02.electric guitars

thanks rocky, saved my bacon AGAIN.

Hi,

Yes , prefix is disappearing as it should but it still doesnt work.

I use

01.X
02.Y
03.Z
04.T
05.U

But categories are shown randomly like this :

Z
T
X
U
Y

Please help .

[rocky]

That is weird. Have you tried switching to the default PrestaShop theme? I can't think of why this would happen. You'll need to do debugging to figure out what is going wrong.

Keep in mind the categories will show up in a random order in the back end, but the front end should be ordered.

I found the solution :

Open modules\blockcategories\blockcategories.php

Find:
ORDER BY `level_depth` ASC, cl.`id_category` ASC'))

Change:
ORDER BY `level_depth` ASC, cl.`name` ASC'))

(thanks uhupage)

Thanks for posting the solution. Please edit your first post and add [sOLVED] to the front of the title.

Direct copy/paste of the code given in this post will not work as the last apostrophe in each of the code lines (the search line an the replace line) is the hexadecimal character 92 and not the normal 27 expected. This is not because the poster chose to make the code lines BOLD in the post. Using the CODE tag is also useless as the quote vanishes.

The codebase downloaded yesterday - v1.3.1.1 - has this fix in place at line 122 in the file /modules/blockcategories/blockcategories.php :

ORDER BY `level_depth` ASC, cl.`name` ASC'))

Even the above plain text is useless. This is because the forum software does a replace of the ordinary apostrophe (ASCII 27 Hex) with the super apostrophe (ASCII 92 Hex)

[rocky]

That's why it is important to always wrap code in

 tags, so the apostrophes aren't converted.

[apmuthu]

Using the [ code ] tag here makes the apostrophe vanish!

How did you post the code tag without the spaces?

[rocky]

I forgot about that. You must write code with start and beginning apostrophes for them to appear. If you write just an opening or closing apostrophe it will disappear.
