Product sort order on frontend

[sandomatyas]

VirtueMart forgets the selected product sort order if you use the 'back to the category' link.
Test:



• My default product sort order is 'product name' and also available fields are product modified date, price and sales
• Open a category
• Change a product sort order from 'product name' to 'price'
• optional: turn to another page
• open a product
• use the 'back to the category'
• the value of the sorting field will be 'product name' again although the products keep the correct sorting

I don't know if it is possible but I'd like to use my filters a bit more simple. I want to give 4 options:




• ascending by name
• ascending by price
• latest products in the category (desc by modification)
• popular products in the category (desc by sales)

For now if the default sort order is product_name/ASC you have to click twice: sales/ASC -> sales/DESC
Accordig to my customers it's a bit confusing, they can't understand the sorting dropdown.
Is there maybe another option to display it?

Thanks a lot
