Default Sorting Of Vendors

Multi-Vendor Questions
1

In the "vendors" page, the default sorting is by name. Does anyone know how I can chance this so that by default is it by vendor rating?

Thanks

app/controllers/frontend/companies.php

after

$params['get_description'] = 'Y';

add

if (empty($_REQUEST['sort_by']) && Registry::get('addons.discussion.status') == 'A') { 
    $params['sort_by'] = 'rating';
    $params['sort_order'] = 'desc';
}

(!) Not tested

One further question. Among equally rated vendors, it sorts them by name (Z to A). How can I change this to A to Z?

It is not possible out of the box. Additional code changes are required
