[Solved] Sorting Products in Category

edited April 2013 in Shopping Cart plugin

Ok - The site I am working on is a book site and each book comes in 3 versions - PDF (Downloadable) - $9.99, Paper back (Tangible) - $18.95 and Hard Cover (Tangible) - $29.95. I have a customized product page for each of the titles and I have added the title as a category and have added the 3 types of books as a product in that category.  I have the products in Grid display, but can't seem to get them to sort properly.  I would like them to sort on price, asc, per category - but them keep appearing in a random order. I have the following - but not sure if this is correct [wpcocategory id=2 type="grid" sortby="price" sort="ASC"] - may have to sort on the product within the category.

Thanks!

    Hi Tammy,

    Thanks for your post.

    The best way for you to do this is to simply use the shortcode [wpcocategory id="X"] and then go to Checkout > Shop Categories, click on "Order Products" for each category and set the sort order of the products there.

    I hope this helps?

    Best regards,

    Phil

    Phil,

    I figured it out - my prices are $9.99, $18.95 and $29.95 - when it sorted it came out in this order $18.95, 29.95 and 9.99.  - which is sorted correctly based on what data type the field price is set to in the data base - (i.e. 1, 2, 9)  I went in and set the 9.99 price to 09.99 and they sorted correctly and the price is display correctly ($9.99).

    Thanks for getting back to me so quickly!  Moving on to the checkout process now!  Great product!
