[Solved] Categories not sorting alphabetically

[SRD75]

Hi.

 

This problem has occured in both v1.4.3 and 1.4.4.

 

The prestashop documentation says that categories should display in alphabetical order in both the front end and the back end but they display in random order in both.

 

Is there a setting I have turn on or off?

 

Additionally, I can manually adjust the ordering of categories, but I can only move a category up one position at a time.

 

With about 200 categories, that's a major pain in the butt.

 

Why can't I type a number in for the position like Joomla?

 

Thanks,

 

Steve.

...they display in random order in both.

They don't, they display in "Position" order, see attached image. First you need to sort by a column other than Position to see the numbers though.

 

Additionally, I can manually adjust the ordering of categories, but I can only move a category up one position at a time.

You should be able to move as many rows as there is, try another browser please.

You would still be typing 200 numbers

Thanks Phrasespot

 

I was unaware I could drag and drop categories. There was no indication this was possible.

 

Would it be user friendly to add a little note: "categories can be reordered by drag and drop" ?
