Characteristic values order

Hi,

In the config under the tab "display" you have the option "Characteristics values ordering" where you can choose to order them by ID or by alphabetic order.

Ah yes, in that view there is no ordering done. Is that a problem ?

You can change the line:
$query = 'SELECT * FROM '.hikashop::table('characteristic').' WHERE characteristic_parent_id = '.$characteristic_id;

by:
$config =& hikashop::config();
if($config->get('characteristics_values_sorting')=='old'){
$order = 'characteristic_id ASC';
}else{
$order = 'characteristic_value ASC';
}
$query = 'SELECT * FROM '.hikashop::table('characteristic').' WHERE characteristic_parent_id = '.$characteristic_id.' ORDER BY '.$order;

in the file administrator/components/com_hikashop/views/characteristics/view.html.php in order to get it ordered.

That modification has been integrated in the latest version of HikaShop so no need to hack the core to have your values sorted by name there.

There is no point in sorting variants. Variants are combinations of values of characteristics. Sorting the values of the characteristics is what need to be done and it's already in the todo list.

We don't have the time to do all the features everyone is asking. HikaShop's code is open. If you want it help yourself. We will be happy to integrate the changes in HikaShop if they are done correctly.
