In the backend are not properly sorted. As shown in the image attached to the previous message.

You can change the line: $query = 'SELECT * FROM '.hikashop::table('characteristic').' WHERE characteristic_parent_id = '.$characteristic_id; by: $config =& hikashop::config(); if($config->get('characteristics_values_sorting')=='old'){ $order = 'characteristic_id ASC'; }else{ $order = 'characteristic_value ASC'; } $query = 'SELECT * FROM '.hikashop::table('characteristic').' WHERE characteristic_parent_id = '.$characteristic_id.' ORDER BY '.$order; in the file administrator/components/com_hikashop/views/characteristics/view.html.php in order to get it ordered.

Joomla 1.5.22 Hikashop Essenzial 1.4.8. Sincerely, Alessandro.")* Having to change the core to do a sort, especially in the product variant listing, is surely not the best way. Most lists in Joomla it is possible to click on the column headings to do a sort. This would be really useful for me (and others I am sure) where I have multiple variant products, i.e 5 sizes and a 3 choices of colour for each size, thats 15 variant products. does it take much coding to implement this, where you have a choice of which column you can sort on like you have on the main products listing page? Like in the main products listing: Code: <a title="Click to sort by this column" href="javascript:tableOrdering('b.product_name','desc','');">Name</a> It means its much easier to maintain the variants e.g prices etc. --- David Craig Hikashop 1.5.0 Business edition [ www.charitycanvasprints.com](http://www.charitycanvasprints.com) Please [Log in](/login?return=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaGlrYXNob3AuY29tL2ZvcnVtLzMtYnVnLXJlcG9ydC8xMTkyMS1jaGFyYWN0ZXJpc3RpYy12YWx1ZXMtb3JkZXI/dG1wbD1tYXJrZG93bg==) or [Create an account](/component/users/registration?Itemid=101) to join the conversation. - **[nicolas](/forum/user/63-nicolas "View nicolas's Profile")** - [![nicolas's Avatar](https://www.hikashop.com/media/kunena/avatars/resized/size144/users/avatar63.png?1793428657)](/forum/user/63-nicolas "View nicolas's Profile") - [ Away](/forum/user/63-nicolas) Less More - Posts: 86552 - Thank you received: 14304 - - 15 years 6 months ago [\#14623](#14623) by [nicolas](/forum/user/63-nicolas "View nicolas's Profile") Replied by *[nicolas](/forum/user/63-nicolas "View nicolas's Profile")* on topic *[Re: Characteristic values order](/forum/3-bug-report/11921-characteristic-values-order#14623 "Hi, I created the characteristic weight (g).

Sincerely, Alessandro.")* That modification has been integrated in the latest version of HikaShop so no need to hack the core to have your values sorted by name there. There is no point in sorting variants. Variants are combinations of values of characteristics. Sorting the values of the characteristics is what need to be done and it's already in the todo list. We don't have the time to do all the features everyone is asking. HikaShop's code is open. If you want it help yourself. We will be happy to integrate the changes in HikaShop if they are done correctly.
