Hi,

I have modified categories.tpl navigation in order to list top category, and subcat liek in example:

Main Cat A
A Sub Cat 1

A Sub Cat 2
A Sub Cat 3

The below code works great for this, but the only problem with this code is that it does not respect the sort order i have placed on the categories. I know that the functionality is working since it is listed in sorted order on the actual category page.

So if anyone can figure out how to have the below code respect the category sort order?

{{* $Id: categories.tpl,v 1.26 2005/11/17 06:55:37 max Exp $ *}
{capture name=menu}
{if $active_modules.Fancy_Categories ne ""}
{include file="modules/Fancy_Categories/categories.tpl"}
{assign var="fc_cellpadding" value="0"}
{else}
{if $config.General.root_categories eq "Y"}
{foreach from=$categories item=c}<br />
{if $c.order_by < 500} 
<a href="home.php?cat={$c.categoryid}" class="rootcatlink"> {$c.category}</a><br>
{/if}
{foreach from=$allcategories item=cat}
{if $cat.parentid eq $c.categoryid}
{if $c.order_by < 500} 
<a href="home.php?cat={$cat.categoryid}" class="catlink">{$cat.category}</a><br>
{/if}
{/if}
{/foreach}{/foreach}
{/if}
{/if}
{/capture}
{include file="menu.tpl" dingbats="dingbats_categorie.gif" menu_title=$lng.lbl_categories menu_content=$smarty.capture.menu cellpadding=$fc_cellpadding}

try commenting out include/categories.php

around line 171

uasort($all_categories, "func_categories_sort");

but, not sure this is what you are looking for. Try it, it not works, roll back it.

I had a similar issue, tried commenting it out and got a ascending list of categories. What does this function do? will it affect something else?

It will not affect anything i believe

[alru111]

how do I change to descending direction? do you know?

uasort() function sorts an array such that array indices maintain their correlation with the array elements they are associated with. This is used mainly when sorting associative arrays where the actual element order is significant.

Brilliant! Thanks a million, Dongan!
