How do i control the order of product variations

How do i control the order of product variations in the frontend?

I will explain what i mean ....

If i make a simple characteristic, a dropdownlist with for example the values: none, 1 and 2 then these show in the backend nice in order, so first none, then 1 and last 2.

Then i go to the productpage and pick the characteristic and then create the variations, so far so good.

But then the order of the variations with each there own characteristic get mixed up and in the frontend in the dropdownlist it shows as 1, none, 2.

I tried it several times with different values and it gets mixed up allways.

What am i doing wrong or how can i solve this?

Hi,

I think that you should :
- Go to your characteristic configuration page
- Use the "Ordering" option of the characteristics tab

And :

- Go to your product configuration page
- delete and re-add your characteristic to you product.

Then It should do the job.

Thank you for your reply but thats not the problem the order of the characteristics is fine there.

The problem occurs in the 'manage variations' screen, there the order of the characteristics is suddenly changed (despite the dropdownlist in the article screen showing the correct order)

I have added a picture that contains the 4 places where the characteristics are shown and you see that the order suddenly changes in the variations screen and in the frontend (both are places where you no longer can change the order).

Ok, but can you do the things that I told you in my previous post ? then your characteristic order in your manage variants screen should be good.

Oh now i understand what you were talking about ..... despite they were already in good order there i should give them anyway a order number
I did that and it seems to work indeed.

My perception was that it was only needed if you wanted another order for the characteristics then the order in which you had entered them.

Seems you learned me something and helped me solve my little problem ...thank you Mohamed!
