Change Default Sort Order of Product Listing to Descending

Hi Guys,

Many times we need to change default functionality in Magento as per Client requirement. One problem which I have faced is how to "Change Default Sort Order to Descending" in product listing page.

The best and simplest solution which works well for me. Just add below highlighted code in your catalog.xml (stored in your THEME LAYOUT) under these catalog_category_default & catalog_category_layered sections

Here is the code :

<block type="catalog/product_list_toolbar" name="product_list_toolbar" template="catalog/product/list/toolbar.phtml">
<action method="setDefaultDirection"><dir>desc</dir></action><block type="page/html_pager" name="product_list_toolbar_pager"/></block>
