rearrange products

[thestableturtle]

I have been busy adding products to my store, however, now that I am looking back on it, I would like to be able to rearrange the order that they are shown on the store front page. This is probably a stupid and easy fix, but how can I move the order of how they are shown on the page rather than the order of how I added them??

Sure, first, go into the easycart admin -> advanced options section and make sure you turn ON 'Use Custom Post Type method'. This will make each category, and store page be a seperate post type.

Now, you can visit your frontend store page of products while logged into the wordpress admin and you will notice you get a sidebar for designing columns and such, plus you should see a 'reorder products' button on there. this allows you to simply drag products around in order you want.

Very cool !
But in the future could we maybe rearange one category in "title A-Z", another "by price", and a third categroy by "Default Product Sort"?
And in the "Manually arrange product" could we have the table rearranged style (by arrow when we have a lot of products it's very long...)?
Thanks !

all good ideas and something we can improve on... one thing to remember is that if you setup in the easycart admin -> basic settings the default sort order changed to something other than 'default sort order', you can no longer manually override them... You are specifically setting it to price or to title if you set it in the basic settings. Manually sorting and reordering on the front end only works if it's set to 'default sort order'.

Hi all,
Do we already have the option that ADS suggested earlier? To have one category use sort "title A-Z", another "by price", and a third category "Default Product Sort"

Currently no, you can set a default, but it applies to all the categories... AND setting a default sort method will overwrite any manual sorting you do on a category...

Is this still an option? I would like to reorder items in a category but can't seem to find the advanced settings. Can you please help?
Thanks,
