[SOLVED] How to sort manufacturer's names in a chosen order in prestashop 1.5

[louissss]

Hi

 

how to sort manufacturer's names in a chosen order in prestashop 1.5 ?

 

In previous version we put 01. 02. 03. at the begining of the names.

But what now?

 

thanks

Hi,

 

I think override Manufacturer::getManufacturers is the best way.

...
ORDER BY m.`name` ASC' #you can change it
...

Thanks but I want an ordering that is not based on name or anything else, just something that I choose: this brand first, then this one second, then this other one third, etc....

For this task you can add field "position". You can view "Product" as example

Thanks, indeed I could modify the database.

But finally, I did the old solution renaming the brands:

 

01. brandnameone

02. brandnametwo

03. brandnamethree

...

 

And I stripped the numbers in smarty in the tpl files where needed:

{$manufacturer.name|regex_replace:"/^[0-9]+\.[ ]*/":""}

instead of

{$manufacturer.name}

 

in several modules, to avoid displaying numbers in the front office.
