newbie question: How do I sort product attributes order?

[Anna_Max]

Hello,

I'm six hours old at this, I've added 10 sample products, but I can't figure out how to order the product attributes, for example, I want the default size showing in the size drop down menu to be "XS" and I want the drop down menu order to be:

XS
S
M
L
XL

Product Attributes Sort Order v1.0 keeps floating to the top of my searches, is this the solution to the problem?

Since there is no set order in the atrtributes....

As long as you enter everything in order as:
XS, S, M, L, XL, XXL, 3XL etc..

(see osCMax Demo Store : An Item [9999] - $12.00 )

As you can see in the demo - it is the proper order ---but note there is no "set" order specified - Attribute was just created in the ORDER I wanted and Assigned to the ITEM in that SAME order that I wanted.

Don't create or assign XS after S or XXL etc...
(Must be done before S).

But unless you do exactly so ....could be presented as:

L,M,S,XL,XS (Alphabetical)

or in the order as entered into the database or in the order as assigned to a product.

If order is not correct - you could play with the raw SQL files in the back ground - but that would be more headache that ever.

The ONLY other way is to enforce a specific order using like Attributes Sort Order.

Hello jpf,

Thanks for the reply...

The product page's "size" drop-down menu displays: XL (default), L, M, S, XS

Thanks, I think I get this.

Imagebin - A place to slap up your images.

In the image you can see I made five entries under Products Attributes, for one item, is there a way to make multiple "size" options, for example.

1. (S, M, L)
2. (4, 6, 8, ...)

And then just just tag the item with size1 or size2 without making individual attribute entries each time, or am I just missing something here?

Main product attribs labeled like:

Unisex Sizes (XS-3XL)
Adult Sizes (S-XL)
Mens Sizes (8-48 suit size)
Woman Sizes (4-22 dress size)
Child Sizes (7-16)
Toddler Sizes (3-6)
Infant Sizes (6 to 24 months)
etc...

Don't see an issue here - better than Sizerange1 and Sizerange2 etc....
