States Sort

Hi,

Supposing that you're talking about only the states of a particular country, what you can do is this:
If you edit your states via the System>Zones menu, you can see the fields "name" and "name in english"
The sorting is based on the "name in english" field. and if that field contains a number, it won't be displayed and only the "name" will appear in the dropdown. So the solution is to enter the position number of each state in the "name in english" field and the name you want to appear in the dropdown in the "name" field.

Hi,

Well, I don't have a nice alternative.
What I can propose is to directly change the line:
$query .= ' WHERE '.implode(' AND ',$filters).' ORDER BY a.zone_name_english ASC';
in the file administrator/components/com_hikashop/types/country.php
to load the zones differently. For example, you could change it to:
$query .= ' WHERE '.implode(' AND ',$filters).' ORDER BY a.zone_id ASC';
which would sort the states (and countries) in the order they were added to the database.
