In the characteristics it's created so: Value C = ID 23 Value B = ID 22 Value A = ID 21 they are showed in this order in the shop. The sorting is not with ID, then it were A,B,C....but it's also not orderd per Titel in alphabetical order.

You simply configure the ordering value of the values of your characteristics, there is no need to delete/recreate them, so you won't have to reenter the data of the variants.

There is nothing to change the order. The only way is to rename the existing values like Mohamed said and then I have to reenter the prices. EDIT: Sorry, it's because of a wrong translation. In this case, "order" is translated in the meaning of "to order something" and not "to sort something". - [ ![h9d878d1.jpg](/forum/attachment/12836) ](/forum/attachment/12836 "h9d878d1.jpg") [ ](/forum/attachment/12836?download=1 "h9d878d1.jpg") Last edit: 13 years 2 weeks ago by [Plotec](/forum/user/28323-plotec "View Plotec's Profile").

We try to always do a difference between an "order", "buy something" and we call generally the "ordering" (sort something).

If you look at the screenshot above ( #127628 ), it is the third column with text input with always 0 into. Change the value, save the characteristic and it's done.
