Changing default sorting order

Hello,
How can we change the sorting order of the main shop (catalog) page.
By default products are ordered alphabetically, how can we update this to be ordered by “created on” by default? So the newer products are always in front.
Thank you,

Hi lacorne,

The default sort order in nopCommerce is by position. You can manage the Order/position of the products within a given category from the category page and selecting the Products tab and change the display order.
Unfortunately the sort order can't be changed in nopCommerce from the Administration. The "View per page" and the "View in Grid or List" can be changed in the administration but the sort order is always the same.

Hope this helps!

Thanks

Hi noptemplates team,

please give advice how to get most popular product (represented by the highest displayorder number) to top of the category list. We are

# using 4.50.4
# Pacific Theme Layout 1
# Ajax Filter Plugin

thanks, appreciate any help on this

Hi guys, Hi Boyko.
since 4.40 they added a category position field to order on within Table Product_Category. So this issue is solved.
