Unable to sort products by Date in product page Prestashop version 8.1.0

[Affan Ashraf]

Hi, I recently got my website upgraded to 8.1.0 and problem is the oldest products are appearing on top. Alot of products are very old and we dont want them to appear on front page ( New Products module on main page). Is there any way I can set the order of products by date so that new products can appear first? I tried to find but found no such option, however in older prestashop 1.7 I was using this option to sort the products by date. Please help. Thanks

Hi,

You have to edit code for this purpose, in modules/ps_newproducts/ps_newproducts.php

Find function getNewProducts and change the code to below one.

 

$newProducts = Product::getNewProducts(
                (int) $this->context->language->id,
                0,
                (int) Configuration::get('NEW_PRODUCTS_NBR'),
                false,
                'date_add'
            );
