Categorize Listing

[mrkris]

This may have been covered, but I was unable to find what i was looking for. Is there an option or setting to organize the category display?

Hi mrkris

I am presuming you want them alphabetically arranged?

Don't know it there is an easy way, probably via MySQL, but i don't go there :ooi: I do it through the >admin panel>set categories order> then using the little arrows to move them into the order you want...Not such a great way of doing it if you have typed in hundreds all random :( as takes ages to sort, so best to type them in order in the first place :cool-yo:

Hope this helps :)

Aw, go on. Yer welcome. :)

btw, now you have an option in admin panel to set categories order = order them alphabetically or by manual order :) enjoy

[Loren]

Thank You :)

Just one question in the front end i have a two column display, they are alphabetically ordered, however they go from side to side rather than desending one side then the other..how would i sort that little imperfection? :tik:

The easiest way in your case is to order them manually…

[Loren]

Nick they were ordered manually :angry:

I typed each one in individually and all in alphabetical order because the old version had a naff order system of up and down arrows.. which by the way is now no longer available... you are telling me that i would have to manually swop them around so they show on my directories page, so how i am going to do that now?

Not impressed to say the least, and disappointed with replies these days :(

Hi Loren :)

You can still sort with the arrows.

Page Navigation and Listings
Categories order by

Geee thanks for that info :huh:

You can really go off people very quickly :P :rolleyes: LOL

[Greg]

Gosh Loren I thought you thought the sort order was no longer available.
or did I thought wrong ;)

[Loren]

No your right, missed that critter, it wasn't particularly obvious being under links and navigation...and i wasn't that chuffed to see it anyway...there must be a better system that can sort each column descending rather than back and forth...aaaach! I give up i will just leave it. :(

Good feature, I was going to add it in our current version but I had not enough time to realize it. I can assure you we will add an option to choose order - vertical or horizontal

Sorry for the support
