filtering in category

readyman wrote:Yes, I think you could do this in the controller/product/category.php file... add another sort to the data[sort] array.
Then in the model/catalog/product.php in the getProductbyId function you would add the manufacturer to the $sort_data = array ...

I haven't tried it, so I don't know if there are any conflicts there. They seem to be the two files in question though.

$manufacturers = $this->model_catalog_category->getManufacturer($category_id);
				
        		foreach ($manufacturers as $result) {

					'text'  => $result['name'],
					'value' => 'pd.name-DESC',
					'href'  => $this->model_tool_seo_url->rewrite($this->url->http('product/category&path=' . $this->request->get['path'] . '&sort=manufacturer_id&order=DESC&manufacturer_id='.$result['manufacturer_id']))
