-- Joomla version -- : 5.4.0

Does anyone else have problems with changing the order of products on the listing pages?

I spend hours moving them around, to get them in a nice logical order (eg. restocked products at the top, older or out of stock items at the bottom) only for them to later suddenly change into a completely random order. It doesn't seem to matter if I use the drag and drop or change the number in the ordering column. It all works smoothly for a while and then suddenly they all rearrange themselves!

I just wondered if there is some trick I'm missing - I clear the cache, hoping they'll go back into order but that doesn't seem to have any effect.

Many thanks
Leila

Hi,

The order of the products on the frontend depend on how the "order column" and the "order direction" settings are configured in the products options tab / hikashop options tab of your menu item / module. ( the "random" setting, if activated, will supersede these settings)
If they are set to "ordering", then in will follow the order you configured on the backend listing.

However, note that the ordering you set in your backend is relative to the category. If you configure your products listing to display products from different categories on the same listing, then the "ordering" choice doesn't make sense because the products will be ordered based on values set across different categories. In such case, you can create a custom product field to enter the main ordering of each product, and then use the column of the custom field for the ordering.
