Is there a simple way to change the sort order from entry sort order to alpha sort order for the "Option Value Name" under options on the admin side.
For example when you go to Catalog > Options > Option Name (ie Color) > Edit > Option Value Name
The colors are listed in the way they were entered - Red, Purple, Blue, Green, White, etc....instead I would like the default sort order to be Alphabetical so Blue, Green, Purple, Red White, etc....
I know you could use sort order but when you have over 100+ Option Value Names, it would be helpful for these to be in Alpha order...
thanks!!
I first posted here with a help request but then decided to dive in myself.
What i did was open /admin/model/catalog/option.php
And find this code:
Replaced it with this
Notice at the very end, one says ORDER BY ov.sort_order originally, and I changed it to ORDER BY ovd.name.
What this does, is it now sorts the entries in the dropdown where you actually select the option values. I haven't managed to make the same happen for where you enter the option values, but ill keep looking.

$option_value_query = $this->db->query("SELECT * FROM " . DB_PREFIX . "option_value ov LEFT JOIN " . DB_PREFIX . "option_value_description ovd ON (ov.option_value_id = ovd.option_value_id) WHERE ov.option_id = '" . (int)$option_id . "' AND ovd.language_id = '" . (int)$this->config->get('config_language_id') .

I final get solution for this:
from admin/model/catalog/option.php
look for the following near bottom:
change to
then it is okay.

Code: Select all
public function getOptionValueDescriptions($option_id) {
$option_value_data = array();
// $option_value_query = $this->db->query("SELECT * FROM " . DB_PREFIX . "option_value WHERE option_id = '" . (int)$option_id . "'");Code: Select all

$option_value_data = array();
