How to change the order categories are shown at Otree

-- HikaShop version -- : 3.0
-- HikaMarket version -- : 1.7.3
-- Joomla version -- : 3.6.5

In my product lists OTree is showing always categories sorted by alphabetical order and ignoring the order in which are sorted at the backend categories list.

How can I change the ->displayTree parameters to make it show the categories sorted by the category order ?

The CategoryTree is the one in the left side column of a Frontend Product List.

I made it to avoid showing ROOT, I can preestablish the number of tree levels that show opened at load time, but can't handle to use the natural sorting of the Categories in hikashop category list, I always get it sorted by the Category ID (and not alphabetically as I stated initially in this post).

In contrast, with the HikaShop views in the backend they show accordingly to the way the categories are sorted in the category list.

Additionally I would like to be able to choose (no matter if it is by code) if the UNPUBLISHED categories should be listed in Frontend product lists.

Now they do always.

If they had been unpublished in the backed or in the frontend Category List - Category Edition would make sense that frontend users don't have access to them at the Product List time,

I understand users must see them in the Category List in order to edit and eventually REPUBLISH them, but would be fair that a user having access to Product Lists does not have to deal with unpublished categories.

Hi Jerome, thank you for your feedback and sorry for answering so late.

Sadly I have to disagree with your first statement (which I would love not to as I really need it the way you say it works)

I made an absolutely clean non overrided site and the category ordering conflit persists.

It works as you say in Backend but not in HikaMarket Product Listing Frontend.

Thank you Jerome!
