Hi,

Can anyone advise me how to change the sort order of "PRODUCTS" on the top menu at radiantmetalworks.com? Note sure what order it is currently sorting, buy may be better if it displays the categories by name.

Thanks,
Brad

Hi Brad
Isn't this menu manually set up in your web editor, such as Dreamweaver?

Hi Vince,

I have this in my Dreamweaver template for the top menu section:
<!-- mega menu start -->

<div class="menu-container">

<div class="menu">

<ul>

<!-- 2 links, no drop downs -->

<li class="headi"><a href="../index.php">Home</a></li>

<!-- first mega menu display - 4 columns -->
<li class="headi"><a href="#"><i class='w3-margin-right fa fa-chevron-circle-right'></i>Products</a>

<ul>

<li class="headi">

<?php $menupoplimit=1;

$menustyle='horizontalmenu1'; ?>

<?php include "vsadmin/inc/incmenu.php"?>


</li>

</ul>

</li>

<li class="headi"><a href="../categories.php">Categories</a></li>

<li class="headi"><a href="../about.php">About</a></li>

<li class="headi"><a href="../contactus.php">Contact Us</a></li>

</ul>

</div>

</div>

<!-- mega menu end -->

Hi, if using the dynamic menu, and it looks like you are, then the sorting there should be based on the sort in the admin. Under categories in the admin, you can change the sort there.
Let us know if you have questions about that.

I changed sort order in the admin under categories to sort by name, then selected "update" at the bottom. Refreshed a new browser for my site and I don't see a sort order change.

Hi Brad

Changing the sort order in the admin will not change that hard coded menu, it will always stay as you have it in the template. The only way that menu will change is if you manually change it.

Sorry, but I don't see where the drop down menu is managed in the Dreamweaver template. Isn't the script that I posted with "
<?php include "vsadmin/inc/incmenu.php"?>
presenting the products? I thought I remember Sinbad saying that the menu will be dynamic.

Hi Brad

The Natura template has the following in the main.dwt file which shows the dynamic vertical menu on the left side of the pages, which appears has been removed on your site. Yes that does dynamically populate just the vertical left hand menu, not the top horizontal menu which is hard coded & will display as you have wrote it out.

<div class="col-3 mid_left">
<div class="left_nav_wrap">
<h2>Our Products</h2>
<div class="left_nav">
<?php $menustyle='verticalmenu2' ?>
<?php include "vsadmin/inc/incmenu.php"?>
</div>
</div>
</div>

I sounds more like you changed "products" to sort by name under main settings and that's not for sorting categories.
For sorting categories, you go into your categories admin and change the numbers next to each category to sort them.
As far as I know there is no feature to sort your "categories" by name.

On the quick entry drop down, select "actual order"and try changing that and see if your menu changes.

Thank you!!! The category number change did the trick.

Happy new year everyone!

Hi Brad, that's great news.
Happy New Year to you too.

David
