Sorting items on page

further to this post

I have re-named the files with 01 – 12 numerically

I have also changed the dates so they are in date order of the way I want them to display

now when I load sometime they load in name order – which works fine – but other times they load randomly

also sorting by date does not put them in order

Ideally I would like to have no sort pulldown at the top and have them load in name order by default – is this possible?

I now have shortcode of
[sell_downloads columns=”2″ filter_by_type=”0″ show_order_by=”0″ order_by=”name”]
however they are still not in correct name order

Hi,

The correct structure of the shortcode is:

[sell_downloads columns=”2″ show_order_by=”0″ order_by=”post_title”]

You should to use “post_title” instead of “name”

About the order by date, you should use the attribute order_by=”post_date”, and products are displayed in the store by the creation date.

Important Note: The filtering options, and the values of the order by, are stored in session variables, so, after edit the shortcode, the browser should be restarted.

Best regards.

thanks – It was the cache issue that was confusing me – restarting the browser, or viewing in a different browser showed me the correct result
