New products page - wrong sort direction!

[steve_c]

Hi all - I've had a few customers come back and tell me my new products page is not working. I checked it out myself and it looks as if the products are being sorted with the oldest first!

Shouldn't they be sorted by productid DESC? The newest products appear at the end of the list!
Any help appreciated.

Thanks!

I think the "New products" page using the "Default order way" on the Preferences > Products tab. Try changing that to "Descending". That will affect other product listings too though. If you need to override that value just for the new products page, you will need to change line 13 of new-products.php (in PrestaShop v1.3.3) from:

'products' => Product::getNewProducts(intval($cookie->id_lang), intval($p) - 1, intval($n), false, $orderBy, $orderWay),

to:

'products' => Product::getNewProducts(intval($cookie->id_lang), intval($p) - 1, intval($n), false, $orderBy, 'DESC'),

That worked perfectly thank you very much!
