Sort Order in Item Pane
Just when I think I'm making progress, something new pops up. I have set Sort Field in ItemPane View Options to Name - Desc, but when looking at a product list in Card or List view, they are always in Name - Asc order unless changed by the Sort Selector above the list. (Name - Z to A works if selected there)

Isn't the View Option setting supposed to control the initial display in ItemPane? Is there another setting that is over riding that selection?

Re: Sort Order in Item Pane
Ed,

Have you set the check box 'Enable Start Query' at the top of the Start Parameters section in ItemPane View  Options? The sort field selected is only actioned if you enter the product page with a query. Otherwise (i.e. if you show the 'welcome message' on entry) it defaults to sorting by name.

I haven't managed to find a way to have both operating yet - i.e. to start with the welcome message but then if a selection is made that switches to card or list view to have the items sorted by e.g. price rather than name.

Does anyone have a suggestion as to how that can be achieved???

Regards,
Graham

Re: Sort Order in Item Pane
As an update in case anyone is still wondering about this - I worked out long ago that if you set 'Enable Start Query' on but make no selection for category or product the sort order specified will take effect and you still get the welcome message. I failed to update this post at the time so will no in case it misleads anyone....
