OpenCart Community

Hi folks,

I wanted to change the order the products are displayed on the category page.
I read a post where it says you have to change:

catalog/controller/product/category.php.

Replace $sort = 'p.sort_order'; with $sort = 'p.date_added'; and so on.

Here is the post:

viewtopic.php?f=20&t=100340

It's from 2013 so maybe it isn't working with Opencart 2.3 (what I use).

When I make all the changes, it does nothing.

Can someone tell me how to change the default order in which products are displayed on the category page to newest first?

Thanks a lot!

If you followed the solution from that post from 2013 and found all mentioned strings in all mentioned files, then it should work. Not much has changed in this part since than. If you've made a changed right in the core files and have VQMod installed, then you might want to refresh you vqmod/modification cache. At a first glance, given solution looks legit.

possibly exept for this, found after a short look into the VqMod: wich should look like this, in later OC-2 Versions: Ernie
