# wp e-commerce plugin

 * Would anyone know of a hack to influence the order in which products are displayed
   in the catalogue for this plugin. The order output is different that the order
   listed in the admin area (in fact I can’t say how they are sorted in the catalogue).
   Ideally I’d like to be able to sort them by SKU,
 * Thanks

 * If you want them displayed in whatever order you want…just to to admin area and
   then “Ecommerce–>Products”..then from the dropdown, select the category you want,
   and then it will display all products from that category…then you can drag and
   drop the products into whatever order you want.
 * Then just repeat those steps for each category.

 * stastic: when I do this, it doesn’t retain the positions. What setting am I missing?
   Thanks!

 * [@seanpatrick](https://wordpress.org/support/users/seanpatrick/), I have been
   messing with this for a while with the 3.7beta3 version. I had to first go to
   Products then pick a category from the dropdown (even if you have only one category)
   and then filter. Then you can drag and drop, and I think there’s some AJAX going
   on there because there is no need to save. It was confusing to me since I only
   had one category of products, but it makes sense for setting a sort order (can’t
   sort items all at once from multiple categories, at least not in a useful way.)
 * After you do that, if you view your product page you should see them in the proper
   order. If you go back to Products, the default view is “all categories” and they
   will appear in a different order than you previously dragged them to. If you 
   filter again for one category I think you will see the order you set by dragging
   and dropping.
 * There is another setting in the Settings > Presentation > “Sort Product By: ”
   drop down, but “order” is not one of the 3 options there. I’m unsure how this
   fits into the picture right now.
