Products - Changing Sort Order

Overview

By default, products are displayed in your storefront in alphabetical ascending order (A-Z). Squirrelcart allows you to change the order by specifying any field on the product record to sort by (Price, Date Added to Cart, etc..). You can also control the sort method (Ascending, or Descending). There are 2 places you can change the sort order.

Store Setting
Changing the sort order for your entire store is done on the Visual Settings page as follows.
  1. Open the Visual Settings page
  2. Choose the field you wish to sort by in the Order Products By field. The fields listed represent the fields in the Products table.
  3. Choose the sort method (Ascending or Descending) using the Order Products How field
  4. Click Save Changes
Category Setting
You may override the default sort order for your products on a per category basis.
  1. Open the Category you want to work with
  2. Choose the field you wish to sort by in the Order Products By field. The fields listed represent the fields in the Products table.
  3. Choose the sort method (Ascending or Descending) using the Order Products How field
  4. Click Save Changes

 

 

If you need to sort in a way that is not provided by a standard Product field, try using the Sort Index field. You can then populate that field with numbers for your Product records to aid in sorting.
