    Is it possible to Resort Items on price?

      My client INSISTS on having  a sort function on the catalog display page, to be able for the customer to re-sort the items by price.

      The search feature does  not re-sort the current page, but creates a new page of results.

      I am wondering if it is even possible to do, because on the overall catalog module template, there isn't an area where you can call the tag_price for the individual items in the catalog.     And then, even if you could put a sort button on the page and it could work,  would it then re-sort the multiple pages of a large catalog or only the current page?

      In php a dynamic call to the database allows for a resorting of the display, but javascript relies on the values of the dispayed page, and the tag_price appears on the small item template not in the catalog template...

       

       

      10:19 am We are currently sorting by price {tag_productlist,4,,12, price desc,,true}, but we need the option to allow the customer to resort from low to high for the same catalog display or in search results.

          Hi,

           

          There is an option to include a "browse panel" into your overall shop layout. 

           

          {tag_browsepanel}

           

          Displays the browse panel for current catalogue. (Use {tag_browsepanel, hideOnSale, hidePriceBrackets, hideSubCatalogues} to customize) Example of use: {tag_browsepanel,true,false,true}

          This will allow you to create pricing ranges within the catalog details which will display to customers on the front-end.  The system will sort based off the selected price range that the customer chooses.

            Thanks Sidney...  What's funny (or sad) is that every time I asked tech support with a ticket about this, they said I had to use custom JS, which would not work on multi-page display. Finally, tech support pointed this out to me this morning... !

              Looking for some assistance,

               

              I am using the same browsepanel module and would like to adjust the sorting order the subcatalogs are displayed it, hopefully to sort it alphabetically.

              Is this possible?  Guessing would be javascript but not competent enough yet to do that myself.

               

              Thanks for your time.
