Change 'Sort by' options

[alanf21]

So I have been looking around throughout the forums and the net, but it seems like few have posed a question merely close to what I'm attempting without solving my issue:

 

I'm trying to change the selectable options within the 'Sort by' dropdown form. Normally, this is found above the products when viewing multiple products of a single category.

 

This is the default:

Price: lowest

Price: highest

Product Name: A - Z

Product Name: Z - A

In-stock first

 

I would like them to follow a set of attributes or types instead, like so:

Ford

Chevrolet

Volvo

Mazda

Mercedes

BMW

 

I have attempted configuring the Tools.php and Feature.php files using other sources, but to no avail. Also, if this can be repeated so as to have more than 1 sorting form within the same page, I'll buy you a drink.

Hi,

 

Do you have find something ? I'm trying to make the same thing. And I do not find the way to do it.

Do you want to filter your product listing by attributes? Then you can just use the "blocklayered" module.
