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>
