Product Options / Product Attributes.. pulldown sorting.?

[Preston]

Ive got an option, "Style", with 10 Options, 100-109, and when I insert them all the dropdown box on the rendered page has them in random order. Is there a setting I'm missing or is this just how it works.

I've tried adding the attributes in dif orders and it arranges them differently.. even if I re-add them in the original ascending order..

I'm so confused has anyone else seen this.. I just want them in ascending order

100
101,.. etc..

ive got

101
105
102
103,..




Oh.. and while I add them in the admin.. products_attributes.php page in order.. the rearrange with each update on their own.. fun.

Dang. I just looked at the mysql query.. there is no order by.. so I just added that..

in product_info.php line 131:

$products_options_query = tep_db_query("select pov.products_options_values_id, pov.products_options_values_name, pa.options_values_price, pa.price_prefix from " . TABLE_PRODUCTS_ATTRIBUTES . " pa, " . TABLE_PRODUCTS_OPTIONS_VALUES . " pov where pa.products_id = '" . (int)$HTTP_GET_VARS['products_id'] . "' and pa.options_id = '" . (int)$products_options_name['products_options_id'] . "' and pa.options_values_id = pov.products_options_values_id and pov.language_id = '" . (int)$languages_id . "'");

changed to:

$products_options_query = tep_db_query("select pov.products_options_values_id, pov.products_options_values_name, pa.options_values_price, pa.price_prefix from " . TABLE_PRODUCTS_ATTRIBUTES . " pa, " . TABLE_PRODUCTS_OPTIONS_VALUES . " pov where pa.products_id = '" . (int)$HTTP_GET_VARS['products_id'] . "' and pa.options_id = '" . (int)$products_options_name['products_options_id'] . "' and pa.options_values_id = pov.products_options_values_id and pov.language_id = '" . (int)$languages_id . "' order by pa.options_values_id");


I hope this helps fix my problem ;/ ill have to add more products and options.

I'm having the a similar problem.

My attribute list is colours, at the moment in a random order. Can I use a modified version of the above code & display them in alphabetical order?

Any help appreciated.

Is anybody willing to she some light on the code, I've tried searching other php forums, no joy yet. I'm going back to trial & error.
Any help appreciated.

Thank You

if not found in product_info.php, add to the end of the same line as above in pad_base.php

." order by pa.options_values_price, pa.products_attributes_id"

my single radio options are now sorted by option_id.
