    Sort products by entry date?

    Is it possible in Miva 9 to sort products by entry date? Or do we still need to use a module?

    Thank you,
    Ben

    Yes you can do that, it's on the Category Page controls.

      Thanks Rick, but what if I want to sort all our products, not just products assigned to a category? Is that possible?

          Yes. Sorry. In the admin. And if I export products after sorting will they remain sorted by entry date?

            Oh then I'm not sure, but I am sure there's no module for this. Let me find out.

              Long form answer.

              Create a Custom Field called "mySort". Export products (with custom fields)
              Use Excel to auto populate the mySort field with a number ascending (i.e., 1, 2, 3, etc)
              Import.
              Now, when you view the products, you can select the mySort custom field and choose to sort descending or ascending.

              (in theory...I've never really done it :) )

                Hi Bruce.
                Where does the entry date of the product come into play with your suggestion?

                Thanks,
                Ben

                  Currently Miva does not keep a entry date when products are added, however it will be something we add in the future. In past versions of Miva the default sort was by id which was always smallest to largest. In Version 9, the default sort changed from id to display order. Once we add the date created, that will be a sort-able field. This is all admin only. Viewing products on the front end can be sorted by newest.

                    That would be great, Brennan. Looking forward to it.
