How can I show New Items first in "homefeatured block"??

[SuperDuper]

Hello everyone,

I am in v1.3.2.3
How can I show New Items first in homefeatured block??

Since the original "homefeatured block" is set to show the oldest items at the front.
When I add new items on the "Home category",
the "homefeatured block" is also showing the old items.

Therefore, how to make "homefeatured block" shows the new items when I added them??
Thanks for your help.

That is what the new items module is for actually.
You can make the featured module random, or play around with the sorting. Just search the forums

You can change the order by in following line

file: /modules/homefeatured/homefeatured.php
function: function hookHome($params)

change following line, to add two more parameters orderBy and orderWay

       $products = $category->getProducts(intval($params['cookie']->id_lang), 1, ($nb ? $nb : 10));

for example, following line, will list product by product id with newest on the top from home category.

        $products = $category->getProducts(intval($params['cookie']->id_lang), 1, ($nb ? $nb : 10) , 'id_product', 'desc');
