1) Sorry if this is the wrong place - I wasn't quite sure if this was the most appropriate
2) Sorry if this has been asked before - I've done *a lot* of searching and can't find anything suitable.

I want to be able to sort products by user ratings. The closest I got was this for v1.1: http://forum.virtuemart.net/index.php?topic=82567.msg273102#msg273102

I'm looking to replicate (or approximate) the functionality of something like Amazon - our customers will care how other customers have rated the products and will want to sort that way.

Anybody got any pointers? I don't mind paying for a plugin if it does exactly what we want, but so far I've found nothing.

Hello,

You didn't mention which version of VirtueMart are you using and in which view you want to reorder the products.

Hi All,

Thanks for your responses.

ITechnoDev - it's not a bug so I didn't think it was relelvant, aside from it being VM2. It's currently 2.0.24a, but we'll need to schedule an update soon anyway.

Thanks John2400, I'll take a look at that one. The description doesn't imply that it will do what I want, but it's worth a look - I'm not looking for the latest reviews, but the ability to order products by those scores, eg the most popular (5*) product at the top and the least (0* / 1*) at the bottom.

the orderby is sent in the url to function getOrderByList()  in the product model

there is no order by ranking so you would have to code it in that function I assume
