Right now with "catalogue mode" turned off, items from subcategories are all displayed together however there is no way to sort items from one category relative to another as the order ids are normalised per subcategory.

 

I can live with this but ideally they should at least respect the order of the categories themselves, which presently they don't.  Its an easy fix though...

 

In site/componens/com_k2/models/itemlist.php.  Change line 233 from:

 

else

   $orderby = 'i.ordering';

break;

 

to:

 

else

   $orderby = 'c.ordering, i.ordering';


break;
