…set the default sort order for catalog pages?

colin008 Total Posts: 84 Joined: 2008-10-20 Ignore user	What about changing the sort order (ASC or DESC) on a per category basis, this code works fine on 1.5.1 in Category>Custom Design>Custom Layout Update `<reference name="content"> <block name="category.products"> <block name="product_list"> <block name="product_list_toolbar"> <action method="setDefaultDirection"><dir>desc</dir></action> </block> </block> </block> </reference>`

I desperately need to change my default sorting order to Price descending. Also - what are the default sorting options? I have removed Best Value and now only have Price as an option. I would like to search by designer/brand but I am not sure if this is possible? http://www.indigobluetrading.com

It works for about 2 mins and then it reverts back to price ascending. any further ideas or advice on this?

Now all category pages list products in descending order by price. In /theme-name/template/catalog/product/list/toolbar.phtml change (line 82 for me): `$this->getOrderUrl($_key, 'asc')` to `$this->getOrderUrl($_key, 'desc')` Then in /theme-name/layout/catalog.xml add the following to the product_list_toolbar block under the Category default layout (line 86 for me): `<action method="setDefaultDirection"><string>desc</string></action>` Hope this helps.

Edit this file: app/code/core/Mage/Catalog/Block/Product/List/Toolbar.php (sidenote, I always make a backup of files I edit and rename it something like ToolbarBACKUP.php) Find this code: `public function setDefaultDirection($dir) { if (in_array(strtolower($dir), array('asc', 'desc'))) { $this->_direction = strtolower($dir); } return $this; }` Change ‘asc’ to ‘desc’ and change ‘desc’ to ‘asc’. Presto!
