This modification automatically sorts all product option values alphabetically.
As an example, you might have a color dropdown element for your product that currently displays color names in the order "Red","Blue","Green","Yellow". This extension will automatically sort them alphabetically by name eg. "Blue","Green","Red","Yellow". This can save a massive amount of time if you have a large number of different product options. This overrides the sorting system that OpenCart uses, so a choice must be made whether to use this method or the built-in weighting system.
• Install in seconds using the included vQmod file, or modify the necessary files yourself using the included list of edits.
• See all product option values instantly ordered alphabetically across your store.

Author's Note
This extension was originally built for a client who had bulk imported several thousand products. Their OpenCart products (and associated options/values) were also syncronised (imported/edited/deleted) hourly with a 3rd party system. This meant that manually putting their option values into a sensible order was never an option (excuse the pun!). This extension provided a quick way for them to keep all their option values across the site displaying in a sensible order that customers could understand immediately.
