Thread: Sort by Price - Low to High / High to Low

Hello everyone,

The title explains it all... I would like to be able to sort by price - either from low to high or high to low.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

D

On what part of the page? The search results page or the category/brand page?

At the top of the page some where... On the category page, for example, if they were to click on Living Rooms --> Sofas, I would like them to sort by price on that page. For those pages, I am using an entity.grid.xml package.

Thank you,

Does anyone know please? I am surprise that aspdotnetstorefront does not have BUILT-IN sort options. And if it does, I have no IDEA where that is.

I'm pretty sure this sort feature is built in. We have it on our site and I doubt we built it. I think you just have to turn it on and set the defaults. What version are you running?

I am using AspDotNetStorefront ML Version: 9.0.1.3, and I have no idea where to find any of the sort stuff.

We're on older versions but check out the xmlpackage that you're using for formatting the display of catalog pages. You can find the name of the xml package in the Edit Catalog page. If you're not a programmer, you'll need a programmer to look at it. But you might see some comments about sorting or some readable code that configures it.

I looked at ours and it's definitely a customized xml package however, but I'm sure it must be using some built in functions. I can't imagine we added sort functionality to Aspdnsf.

The only thing I see is this:

Code:

<queryparam paramname="@FilterProduct"  paramtype="runtime"   requestparamname="FilterProduct"										             sqlDataType="bit"	   defvalue="0"      validationpattern="" />

There has GOT to be a way to add or enable sorting. Any basic eCommerce website has that functionality, and I cannot find how to either enable it in the back-end or add a piece of code to enable it/add it.

Anyone know? Anyone from VORTX?

Thank you,

Pretty sure this type of sorting doesn't exist out of box. The general response is "it's difficult to implement because there are too many variables to take into consideration" but you are right, any ecommerce package should have this included.

This add-on, I believe, allows you to sort by price among other things, but I can't confirm right now because their demo website isn't working at the moment:

What's your site url?

I didn't do the programming on this change but we have it on our site. Do you have progamming capabilities?

Donato,

The article posted here by Shriver appears to be what our programmers did on our site. I see a custom GetProducts script mentioned in the displaypackage and then the display package provides the interface for selecting the sort criteria. This is a good article and should help you get the sort you need.

It is incredible that sorting of this type isn't included out of the box.

Since I wrote the article mentioned in the previous link, we've enhanced this further with Ajax based sorting so the page isn't refreshed each time the user changes their sort options. This is custom development work though.

Come on Vortx, bring ASPDotnetstorefront up to date.
