HI Kevin,

 

You have given the following answer a while ago to a question how to sort products alphabetically:

Hi Renee,

So just to clarify, you would like the default sort order for your products to be alphabetical correct?

If so, you can use SQL to modify the Stored Procedure "Smith_ListproductByFilter" to filter the products alphabetically by default.

Can you explan how I should do this? I have never worked with stored procedures before and to be honest I have no idea what it means.

Is there an easier way to do this?

There's not an EASIER way to do it... although there are OTHER ways to do it.

Certainly the easiest way is with SSMS (SQL Server Management Studio). Find the Stored Producedure "Smith_ListProductByFilter", right click on it, and select "MODIFY".

If you need exact syntax, let me know.

Hi Greg

Thank you for your response, I appreciate it.

You would expect that there was some kind of sort function within the actual cart but apparently there is not.

Anyways, I guess I will have to work out this stored procedure thing and yes I would really appreciate if you could give me the exact syntax and also where I can find these stored procedures. I am obviously not a developer and havent had much experience with these things.

Again, thanks a lot.

 

Cheers

Hi Niels,
The default sort order of products when the catalog first loads is the "Sort Order" field that you configure in the product setup screen so you can set the sort order field to be alphabetical or configure it for any default sort order you like.

Thanks for that!

I missed that field when uploading the products. Although it is a bit of a pain to do this for every product it will be fine going forward.
