Where Is The "position" Field?

I want to sort products by “position” (instead of price, etc.). But where is the “position” field in the latest version of CS-Cart? (4.1.x)



It used to be seen in he list of products by going to products > products … but I don't see it in my admin or in the demo admin.

From the admin panel goto Products, Categories.



Click on the grey number under the products column next to the category that contains the products you want to sort.



That will bring up the products with the Pos field available.

That will sort the categories, but does not sort the products in the categories.

Have I missed something…or has this never actually been an option in any CS-Cart build? In Design>Appearance, you may set the default sort order of products, none of which allow sorting by “Position”. The 'Position' value is only applicable to virtually everything but Products, from V2 through V4.1.2. I would like to be mistaken here, but I have never come across it in any default install.

You have missed something :-)



I used this feature for years up to 3.x and then switched to a different sort method in 4.x … but now when I went to switch back, it’s really strange. Sometimes the position field appears next to the products and sometimes it doesn’t.

I think some of yall have been smokin that wacky tabacky?! It's always been in CSC as far as I know and you can only sort the position of the products within the category.

Well it's not working for me in 4.1.x

When I say “not working”, the position column is not displaying at all.

For example, the position field does not show up in this view either.

Why would it? It's a search.

Are you clicking on the grey number of products part as stated? That will get you into a view that shows the products with the pos field next to them.

So was the first link, it's how CS-Cart handles that. You can try it for yourself. Go to the demo admin site and navigate to the LED TV's category and you'll see no position field. Then go to the “Tablets” category and you'll see the position field.

That only works for some categories and not others. For example, on the demo site, it works for the “tablets” category but not for the LED TV's category.

Works for Tablets and LED TV's on the demo site for me.

Ah, I see. So you go to Products>Categories>click Products 'X' value for a category>Now you see the Position field. Well, you learn something new every day!
