VM manual ordering of categories stopped to work after update to 2.0.24a.

[MarioP]

Hello.
I have a problem with VM home page and categories layout. More specifically with order of the categories. In VM 2.0.24 they were displaying as they should be ( I guess ordering depends on manual settings saved in VM backend ->Product categories) Now the categories are displaying alphabetized...Is there any option to change this?
Did manual ordering stop to work? Please help!
Joomla! 2.5.16
VM. 2.0.24a

Maybe someone could indicate me the files which can affect the categories sort order...I'll try to replace it with those from VM 2.0.24...

I added this to the live update information. Just go to your vm configuration and set the default ordering of your categories/products

Sorry, but I don't understand..

Just go to your vm configuration and set the default ordering of your categories/products

Here we can only set ascending or descending sorting, but how about the manual sorting?

In the 'configuration' page and 'product ordering setting' tab I have tried to set the 'default category sort order' to 'Ordering'. But this is still leaving my categories in Alphabetical order. The Ascending and Descending works but the ordering drop down has no effect.

I can confirm what wico wrote. There's a bug. We have no results if we set the ''Deafult category order' to 'odering'. Categories layout still remains in alphabetized order.

I also have the same problem for sorting categories

Please use this attachment,
the structure is like your joomla, just extract it directly into your root folder. It should overwrite the config and category model and parts of the config view.

Thank you very much for your help. Problem seems to be resolved!

[wicko]

Great this works for me.

Thank you

Great to get quick response.

It is strange how many times we had sorting problems in VM 2.x

[Milbo]

The problem arised, because I cache the function now. Another problem was that I had to change the ordering for products again. Just because some of the ordering fields did not work with SEF and ULR rewriting. Without rewriting it worked, hmpf. The combination of this leaded to that, imho.

Not work for the Cyrillic alphabet.

This is a mysql database probem then. Check your database please and what is not working? ordering or names?

[Farshad88]

After upgrade to 2.0.24a categories are sorted only in alphabetical name [Cyrillic alphabet]. I try your patch but nothing has changed. I change the order but when I open site I see categories are sorted only in alphabetical name.

I used the attachment and my manual order of the categories is back (no longer alphabetical which occured after the 2.0.24a update). However, I can now not change the order of the categories in the backend. Arrows and numbering are no longer working.... It used to be fine.
