Once installed, it allows for adjusting products order of appearance by simply using your mouse and dragging product rows. It's designed to solve the cumbersome process of inserting product sort position manually.

Overview

Purchased Magento Sort Category Products by Drag & Drop

After trying to achieve this functionality for days fighting with Prototype I finally found this little extension by Anowave. Works as expected and it's a must have addition to stores with many categories. Other similar extensions providing the same functionality are at least 10x times more expensive which is awesome.

Good work!

Purchased Magento Sort Category Products by Drag & Drop

This extension is real time-saver. We've tried a few similar solutions but this one is the first that actually does what it says. It brings the much needed drag & drop approach available in many other systems and really saves the day when you have to arrange hundreds of products.

It installed properly and worked as expected, we didn't have to contact Anowave's support team for anything which was a nice surprise for us given our experience with other extension providers.

Thanks Anowave!

User Guide & Documentation

Installation

This extension can be installed in a few minutes, by going through the following steps:

  • Download/purchase the extension
  • Unzip the file in a temporary directory
  • Copy folder and paste it in your Magento installation root directory. This extension will NOT replace existing code.

  • Go to System -> Configuration -> Anowave Extensions
  • Click "Drag and Drop Sorting"
  • Enter your license key
  • Save configuration

 

Enabling drag & drop

The extension is enabled by default, however to sort category products by drag and drop you need to change the number of visible products in the grid. You'll notice a new option "All" under "View" dropdown in the category products grid. You need to set view to "All" to activate product sorting by drag and drop.

If a limit is set sorting will not be possible.

 

How to use the extension

To sort your products by simply using your mouse, follow these steps:

  1. 1. Go to Catalog -> Manage categories
  2. 2. Select category
  3. 3. Go to Category Products
  4. 4. Set "View items" dropdown to "All"
  5. 5. Click the move icon and move the row up or down by holding the left mouse button down
  6. 6. Relase the mouse button
  7. 7. Save category
  8. 8. On a few occasions, the default frontend sorting could be different. Remember to set it to "Position"


Known Limitations
