Reverse default product display order in 4.0.13

Back in xcart 3.5, the admin contained an option to reverse the default display order of products. Now in xcart 4.+ we have options to sort products by SKU, Name, and Price, but have lost the ability to reverse the default listing direction (unless I'm mistaken). To do this in 4.+, you have to make one small change under the hood.

In /products.php look for

Code:

if(!isset($sort_direction))

    $sort_direction = 0;

and change this to

Code:

if(!isset($sort_direction))

    $sort_direction = 1;

Note that this will only reverse the default display order on product listings on category pages - not in search results or in the admin.

This was done in xcart 4.0.13

Keep in mind that you can still go into the categories menu and list out the products in a category and order them by hand as well...I think a lot of people have lost that because it was moved from the search results page...

Cheers ;o)

Thanks for the tip! I wondered where custom product sorting had gone.

It should be done at search.php file
