Product Options to Sort Ascending by OptionName instead of by OptionID

Product Options to Sort Ascending by OptionName instead of by OptionID

See the direct link to the live example below – notice that cougars is at the bottom of the drop-down list of options for this product. We would like these options to sort ascending by OptionName instead of OptionID. I thought this would be a simple mod to the SQL statement, but it was a bit above my head when attempting to make this mod.

Products_Detail.php?ProductID=71

Any help is appreciated.

It would be just a matter of changing the associated SQL.

It looks like it is already done on that page...

but anyway it would be a matter of updating the query:

SELECT ps3_options.OptionID, OptionName FROM ps3_options INNER JOIN ps3_optiongroups ON ps3_optiongroups.OptionGroupID = ps3_options.OptionGroupID WHERE ps3_options.OptionGroupID = %s

to:

SELECT ps3_options.OptionID, OptionName FROM ps3_options INNER JOIN ps3_optiongroups ON ps3_optiongroups.OptionGroupID = ps3_options.OptionGroupID WHERE ps3_options.OptionGroupID = %s ORDER BY OptionName

on both the products_detail.php page and the products_detail_lookup.php page.

Success!

Thanks - that is what I needed. The reason it looked as if it was ordered that way already is that the client input them that way. Only they added one later that should have sorted between "b" and "d" but it came after "s" because it was ordering by ID and not name.

Muchas Gracias!
