My solution: custom fields in alphabetical order

[clanessa]

Hi everyone!

Maybe I've found a temporary solution to order (front-end side) the custom fields of child products.
I run virtuemart 2.0.14 under joomla 2.5.8

All the changes I've done in php code are in file /my_site/plugins/vmcustom/stockable/stockable.php
I've "simply" re-ordered the data while loading the select lists.


EDIT stockable.php

before line 567
--------------------------------------------
foreach ($options as $key => $val) {
--------------------------------------------

insert following code
--------------------
sort($options);
-----------------------

substitute lines 743-753
--------------------
// Repopulate the following selects
jQuery.each(stockable_'.$js_suffix.', function(child_id, child_attrib) {
if (isChildValid_'.$js_suffix.'(stockableBlockIndex, child_attrib, currentIndex)) {
  populateNextSelect_'.$js_suffix.'(stockableBlockIndex, child_attrib, currentIndex+1);
}
});
--------------------

with following code:
--------------------
// Repopulate the following selects
var myArray = new Array();

            jQuery.each(stockable_'.$js_suffix.', function(child_id, child_attrib) {

               if (isChildValid_'.$js_suffix.'(stockableBlockIndex, child_attrib, currentIndex)) {               
myArray.push(child_attrib);
               }

            });



myArray.sort(function( a, b )
{
if ( a["selectoptions"+ (currentIndex+1)][1] == b["selectoptions"+ (currentIndex+1)][1]) return 0;
return a["selectoptions"+ (currentIndex+1)][1]< b["selectoptions"+ (currentIndex+1)][1] ? -1 : 1;
});

for(k=0;k<myArray.length;k++){
populateNextSelect_'.$js_suffix.'(stockableBlockIndex, myArray[k], currentIndex+1);
}


--------------------


Hope this help!

Interesting, we can add this as configurable feature to the stockable plugin. Is not a solutoin for the dynamic ones. But nice. I forward this to openglobal.

I am not if this is the same thing, but I would like to have options to change the order of selectoptions. E.g.,

I am using custom field 'plugins'

Selectoption2 DESC
Sectoption1 ASC
Selectoption3 DESC

Or

Selectoption1 ASC
Selectoption2 DESC
Selectoption3 DESC


At stockable.php ver 2.0.24 AIO there is a lot of grayed out code, but unfortunately I am still lacking coding skills so my code reading ability is quite limited. Clanessa's line numbers doesn't match any longer.

This code is working on Product name. This great! Can you modify this code work on in_stock value?
