In the product page, is there a way to chose the order in which custom fields appear?")* Yes, that's true. However, suppose to have the following: - product P1 assigned to category C1 - product P2 assigned to category C2 - custom field CF1 assigned to category C1 and C2 - custom field CF2 assigned to category C1 and C2 - in the product page P1 the two custom fileds CF1 and CF2 will be ordered in the same way, even if I would like to have different ordering. For example CF1 and then CF2 in the product page P1; CF2 and CF1 in the product page P2 One suggestion, for future Hika version, could be to add a specific field as in the following image: [ ![hfb0fb9a.jpg](/forum/attachment/16078) ](/forum/attachment/16078 "hfb0fb9a.jpg") - [ ![hfb0fb9a.jpg](/forum/attachment/16078) ](/forum/attachment/16078 "hfb0fb9a.jpg") [ ](/forum/attachment/16078?download=1 "hfb0fb9a.jpg") Please [Log in](/login?return=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaGlrYXNob3AuY29tL2ZvcnVtLzI2LXByb2R1Y3QtY2F0ZWdvcnktZGlzcGxheS84NjY2OTYtb3JkZXJpbmctY3VzdG9tLWZpZWxkcz90bXBsPW1hcmtkb3du) or [Create an account](/component/users/registration?Itemid=101) to join the conversation. - **[Jerome](/forum/user/80-jerome "View Jerome's Profile")** - [![Jerome's Avatar](https://www.hikashop.com/media/kunena/avatars/resized/size144/users/avatar80.png)](/forum/user/80-jerome "View Jerome's Profile") - [ Offline](/forum/user/80-jerome) - HikaShop core developer Less More - Posts: 26394 - Thank you received: 4078 - - [](http://obsi.dev) - 12 years 7 months ago [\#148666](#148666) by [Jerome](/forum/user/80-jerome "View Jerome's Profile") Replied by *[Jerome](/forum/user/80-jerome "View Jerome's Profile")* on topic *[Ordering custom fields](/forum/26-product-category-display/866696-ordering-custom-fields#148666 "Hi. In the product page, is there a way to chose the order in which custom fields appear?")* Hi, I understand your point of view but the "order" column in this particular place won't be understandable. User will think that the "order" is the ordering for the categories, to change the sorting of the categories in this particular listing. It won't be understandable that it is the sorting of the custom field depending on the category.. And more than that, I don't think it will be something easy to configure because you won't be able to see the sorting for a specific category.. And the global sorting value might be wrong in the custom field listing view. The interface will be too complicated and not very user friendly. If you want to change the order of the custom field depending a category, I will recommend you to use a view override for the product page. So you can change the ordering of the custom fields before their display. Regards, --- Jerome - Obsidev.com HikaMarket & HikaSerial developer / HikaShop core dev team.

In the product page, is there a way to chose the order in which custom fields appear?")* Hi Mohammad: I have the same question regarding ordering of custom fields. If you will note this link on one of my client's sites: [ www.alifinstitute.org/index.php/contact/...-diamond-sponsorship](http://www.alifinstitute.org/index.php/contact/payments-for-alif-events/product/54-diamond-sponsorship) The client is selling tickets to a dinner. You will see that we added a custom field to the item, in which the purchaser can designate what they want for dinner. I would like the custom field to appear AFTER the product description on the linked page. Can you guide me? With kind regards, Nadine.

In the product page, is there a way to chose the order in which custom fields appear?")* Hi, To place the custom fields after the description you have to edit the view "product / show_default" and move the custom fields part after the description part, so move: Code: if (!$this->params->get('catalogue') && ($this->config->get('display_add_to_cart_for_free_products') || !empty ($this->element->prices))) { if (!empty ($this->itemFields)) { $form = ',\'hikashop_product_form\''; if ($this->config->get('redirect_url_after_add_cart', 'stay_if_cart') == 'ask_user') { ?> <input type="hidden" name="popup" value="1"/> <?php } //LAYOUT show_block_custom_item $this->setLayout('show_block_custom_item'); echo $this->loadTemplate(); } } After: Code: echo JHTML::_('content.prepare',preg_replace('#<hr *id="system-readmore" */>#i','',$this->element->product_description)); The following user(s) said Thank You: [solia](/forum/user/10273-solia "View solia's Profile") Please [Log in](/login?return=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaGlrYXNob3AuY29tL2ZvcnVtLzI2LXByb2R1Y3QtY2F0ZWdvcnktZGlzcGxheS84NjY2OTYtb3JkZXJpbmctY3VzdG9tLWZpZWxkcz90bXBsPW1hcmtkb3du) or [Create an account](/component/users/registration?Itemid=101) to join the conversation. - **[solia](/forum/user/10273-solia "View solia's Profile")** - [![solia's Avatar](https://www.hikashop.com/media/kunena/avatars/resized/size144/users/avatar10273.jpg)](/forum/user/10273-solia "View solia's Profile") - [ Offline](/forum/user/10273-solia) Less More - Posts: 30 - Thank you received: 2 - - 12 years 2 weeks ago [\#175554](#175554) by [solia](/forum/user/10273-solia "View solia's Profile") Replied by *[solia](/forum/user/10273-solia "View solia's Profile")* on topic *[Ordering custom fields](/forum/26-product-category-display/866696-ordering-custom-fields#175554 "Hi.
