as an example from the demo.
you need to enter the category you want to sort on, then at the top is a list of links
Add subcategory • Add product • View products • Delete this category • Featured products
click on view products, then add the sort order

Hint, hint, hint to the developers, this needs to be changed. Why not add Position to the add product page?
Thanks ET.

I agree, if you list all products in a category, POS should be there for updating.
this is the same design as X, which IMO is a BAD design.

Could you tell me where abouts in the admin.php I should add the code
target=products&mode=manage&category_id= 111
Thanks.
Simon.

And don't forget product sorting is also dictated by 'settings->appearance->customer settings->product list default sorting', where you can choose default (how you set pos), price or alphabetically.
simon, you don't add the code, just follow the instructions.

Go to Manage Products in the Admin
Next in the Search in Category - Pull down and choose a category
Next Click Search
Next you will see your products listed with a position #.
Just change those numbers to place the products in the exact order you want.

First if you have selected "Product Name" for "Product list default sorting" in the Settings >> Appearance, this will become the default and not allow you to set in custom sorting. You must set it to "Default"
We know that a product can appear in one primary category and many secondary categories. And with this in mind we set a products position in relation to a specific category this allow you to defined a different sort orders based on the product mix in that particular category.
Cat 1
Pos: 1 SKU: 123
Pos: 2 SKU: 456
Pos: 3 SKU: 789 < in the category this is the least important item
Cat 2
Pos: 1 SKU: 789 < in the category this is the most important item
Pos: 2 SKU: 456
Pos: 3 SKU: 123
Notice the same product SKU's can be sorted differently in different categories. If CS-Cart had set the sort at the product page it would not allow this flexibility.

For example our products are time related so each one start with a date. The defauls always puts the oldest date first because that's the highest number;
1961
1962
1963
We want
1963
1962
1961
