Manual sorting
Posted: 24 Jul 2015, 13:32
Hi all,
is it possible to add a manual sort option for products? I know that browsing lists and search results may be sorted by relevance, name or price by default but my customer aims at sorting manually for some of his catalog catagories.
I thought of introducing a sorting attribute for which he has to edit integer sort values but am not sure whether an attribute would fit in the f_sort parameter in some way. So I´m asking before moving in the wrong direction.
Other than that this is somehow inconvenient. A better approach would be a real sorting column, also available inside the Manager and some UI handles for moving products up and down. Or maybe even drag and drop, but that´s the triple A, five star, deluxe, awesome awesomeness version, I know. So I will keep it simple first.
Cheers
Robert.
