chris2407 Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 Hello, i want to sort all my Categories in the Prestashop. I use the prestashop 1.4.0.17 i found out that the sorting works fine when i add 001., 002... in front of the title of the categorie. But the big problem is that this data will be also shown to the customer in the frontend and this i want to avoid... how can i sort the categories without showing the digits in the frontend? Is there another possibility? I googled a lot and saw that prestashop has this problem since 3 years... why nobody brings a solution for such a big problem? I hope somebody can help me. many thanks, Christian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris2407 Posted July 30, 2011 Author Share Posted July 30, 2011 Normally in Prestashop 1.4 the Sorting function should work in the backend by the small black arrows right? but in my shop this is not working... please help me how can i sort the categories?

shokinro Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 Normally in Prestashop 1.4 the Sorting function should work in the backend by the small black arrows right? yes you are correct. but in my shop this is not working.. Do you mean is does not work in both back office and front store? or just front office not working? It seems working fine at my 1.4.0.17 demo site. If it does not work both at back office and front office, you can try to change the position column at Database level to see if it works. (just for identifying problem purpose) table: ps_category column: position Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris2407 Posted July 30, 2011 Author Share Posted July 30, 2011 I can move and sort the categories in the backend with the small black arrows thats working fine but in the frontend nothing happens... maybe this is not working because im using a third party theme which was before incompatible with prestashop 1.4? I did pay somebody to make it compatible with prestashop 1.4... how can i fix this problem in my theme or how can i make sure the sorting is also working in the frontend? Any ideas?

Any ideas? First you need to identify the location of problem and cause. Have you confirmed the if the sorting position data is saved correctly into database? If it is, then problem is at front store, otherwise, the problem is at back office. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris2407 Posted July 30, 2011 Author Share Posted July 30, 2011 ok i did make a screenshot of the positions column. Does this look fine? What can i do to fix this problem? I did install a new prestashop for testing to another database and there the sorting is working fine without any problems... so something must be messed up either in my backend or in the frontend (theme). I really appreciate your help. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris2407 Posted July 31, 2011 Author Share Posted July 31, 2011 Can somebody please help me with this? I really need a solution to fort the categories... many thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shokinro Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 I checked the screen shot you provided. But I can not tell if they are correct or not. Because I have no idea what it is displayed on your screen. Can you tell me 1. if the products displayed on the screen at back office in the same sorting of position setting in db? 2. if the products displayed on the screen at front store in the same sorting of position setting in db?

chris2407 Posted August 1, 2011 Author Share Posted August 1, 2011 Im confused now... you said before i should check the table: ps_category and column: position right? So i did make the screenshot of it. This screenshot is not about products its the categories or am i wrong? Please tell me what i can check or which screenshot i can provide so you can check it...
