How to filter products alphabetically

At the top of our site I would like a user to be able to click a letter of the alphabet and be shown a page with all of the products starting with that letter.

In other words, across the top there would be the letters A through Z and when the letter A is clicked it would show you all of the products starting with A in any category.

Somebody wanted the same thing here but didn’t get a reply but this is exactly what we need… [url]http://forum.cs-cart.com/showthread.php?t=12252[/url]



It would be similar to this site but instead of A-C it would be A B C D etc. [url]thecouponclippers.com - thecouponclippers Resources and Information.



Any ideas on how to do this?



Thank you for any help.

It looks like you need custom development from cscart as you would need a new search function written.



OR you can do it manually.



Add all your A* products to a hidden A category



Just put a html link for “A” to that hidden category

Thank you for the suggestion.



I figured out that you could “tag” each A product with the letter a and then link to that tag. Unfortunately it’s not possible (according to cs-cart) to bulk edit these products to add a tag so I have to go in and edit all 412 products individually.



Do you know of an easier way to edit the products? Maybe in phpMyAdmin?

That’s good to know. I didn’t really think of the use of tag until now. Thank you!
