-- HikaShop version -- : 4.4.0


Hello there,

My product listing menu is set up to order by "product id". In the Admin product listing within a category,

Currently the products are in the correct order. I.e. the display order is the same as the product ID order, with the first display product having a product ID = 1.

However, I'd like to add some new products and but have them displayed first in the product listing page.

I cannot simple sort the product id by reversing the direction (to get the new items, with the largest product id, displayed first), as that would reverse the display order of the original products.

The product listing menu could be changed to order by "ordering". But then when a new product is added, it's at the end of product list, and I would have to click the "up" arrow on the order column to move it from the bottom, through all the products to the top. Which is not realistic for multiple products.

Wondering if you have solution for this?

Many thanks
Marc

Hi,

The order by "ordering" method is your solution.
Note that on top of the up and down arrows on the listing, you also have an input field with the ordering number of each product. You can change that number and click on the little save icon button next to the title of the order column to save the change and HikaShop will automatically reorder the order products. So if you have a new product in position 45 and you want to move it to position 2, replace 45 by 2 and save. And you'll see that product 3 becomes 4, 4 becomes 5, etc

Hi Nicolas -I spotted the little icon next to the order column, but thought it reversed the sort direction. Looking more closely I see that's not the case. I'll try this out on my next new product.

Thanks for your help,
Marc
