Hey guys - just wanted to say thanks first - the support I've been getting from this forum is great.

My products fall into three Options - Vertical, Horizontal and Square (each of those have 3 price variable size options_ which I've set as Options. I'd like a way for my customers to filter by Vertical, Horizontal and Square - any ideas how to do that?

Hi,

To do that the best solution will probably be to use Characteristics instead of options.

That would make the back end management far too arduous. I need to be able to adjust my prices without editing 600 entries. Even adding new products would take too long with inputting price changes for each size.

I upgraded specifically for these two features. Are you saying I have to choose between which I use? :ohmy:

Yes. Filters cannot base themselves on options. We never said that filters can be based on options.
An alternative would be to also create custom product field where you would select the options you want the product to be searchable with in each product and have your filter base itself on that custom product field.
