Sort order of Royal Mail shipping options

I am running OC2.0.3.1 and use the in-built Royal Mail shipping module as I'm based in the UK.
The module works fine, however I get some customers who don't pay enough attention to whats on the screen and just select the first available shipping option in the list - which happens to also be the most expensive.
The default display order seems to be:
1) Special Delivery
2) First Class
3) Second Class
I want to change the display order to be 3-2-1 so that the lowest priced shipping option is shown at the top.
I'd also like to set (3) as the default - at the moment (1) shows as the default
Can anyone help me locate where this is defined so that I can adjust it
Thanks

In the file
catalog/model/extension/shipping/royal_mail.php, find following line:
Now add following lines of code after that line:
Code: Select all
$price_order = array();
foreach ($quote_data as $key => $value) {
$price_order[$key] = $value['cost'];
}
array_multisort($price_order, SORT_ASC, $quote_data);
Good luck!

Thanks for your help.
Don't know if its a version thing (I'm on 2.0.3.1) but I don't have catalog/model/extension/shipping/royal_mail.php
I do have catalog/model/shipping/royal_mail.php and in that file at the very bottom there is:
$method_data = array();
if ($quote_data) {
$method_data = array(
'code' => 'royal_mail',
'title' => $this->language->get('text_title'),
'quote' => $quote_data,
'sort_order' => $this->config->get('royal_mail_sort_order'),
'error' => false
);
}
return $method_data;
If I'm in the right place, this would seem to suggest to me that there is a 'royal_mail_sort_order' configuration somewhere??
Any idea's

Yes you are right. In OC 2.0.3.1 file location is
catalog/model/extension/shipping/royal_mail.php
Just insert codes after the following line:

Hi - before I followed the instructions and made this change to the postage order, I had set up Paypal Express checkout
(I just opened another thread for it)
Is there any chance this postage mod could have affected the Paypal Express checkout process??
Basically the product 'option' criteria is being lost when the Paypal Express Checkout is used
Thanks

Nope, apparently it should not. Seems different issue.

Thanks - didn't think so, but worth checking
Any idea's on my Paypal Express option problem? - i think it might have been a known issue, which I'm sure there must be a simple solution for

I need to know more details. What is the thread URL that you have created for that issue?
