Title: Category ordering?
Post by: ne0beatsm0rp98 on November 18, 2013, 21:06:05 PM
I have been trying to get my Category ordering in order and no luck.
Even though its ordered like 1,2,3,4 on front end it wont order the way I wish.

The site is www.repairsupplierliverpool.com

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You

Joomla 2.5.16
VM (latest)

Hello,

Have you tried the category ordering within the VM Config - Product Order Settings tab?

If you set it to Ordering , then the categories should be ordered by the order you set them in the backend.

Good luck.

yes its on ordering already and each category is in number order but its not actually showing in ordering mode.
So like for example ipad category should be ipad 4, ipad mini, ipad 3 then ipad 2, but its not its the other way round in both ascending and descending and ipad mini is at end when its number 3 in backend

ok so that bug fix has fixed my main categories so there in order, but my child-categiries are still not the same.
When I change them by ordering number and save it don't work.
Is this also a bug?

Thanks

oh damn I really did not thought that so many people use layout overrides for the category module.
