Changing the display order of Attributes

[akzidenz]

Hi people,

Just curious if there was a quick fix or solution to how to 'order' the display of attributes for a product?

Thanks!

I would also like to know the answer to this question. Everytime i set a default attribute the way i would like it to be ordered it never comes out right. Each page has a different order of attribute options yet they are the same attributes for all the products.

My question is still, how to make the "default" attribute order actually work or what am i doing wrong.

Can someone answer this please?

I am trying to get all the months of the year to show in the attributes dropdown in the correct order with no joy.

I've even put them in the correct oder on the database but they still come out in alphabetical order.

Before answering I have just tested it out to make sure I don't mislead anyone.
I have just created an attribute group "months"
I then put in the months, as attributes, in a random order.
The thing that seems to dictate the order they appear in the dropdown
box, is the order in which you add the attributes to the product.
On the combinations page, (tab 3), of the product section, I entered the months in
order e.g. Feb, Mar, Apr,
and that is the way they appeared in the dropdown box in the actual shop.
This worked for me anyway. The months appeared in order as they should.

I don't think there is a simple solution to this, because you would have to create a new sort order column on the database and patch it into the UI. Well, by "simple" I mean for the end user. I think some developer will have to take this on.

But I 100% agree, this issue needs to be addressed because a list of months or values in the wrong order looks quite bad and gives a negative impression to the customer about the professionalism of the merchant.

I have just released an Attribute Order module that lets you control the order of attribute groups and items.
