Order backwards? was created by Gregory Dahl
None of the ordering controlls seem to work for ordering items. I have the items ordered the way I want them in the back end; but they come out backwards in the front.

How do I flip them around?

What is the Ordering option you have setup in your category settings?

The category was set to default. The menu was set to ordering.

Pages with one category order as defined. Pages with more than one category load in reverse order of category and item and do not respond to re-ordering of any kind.

Here is a page that orders with two items: bit.ly/1aFwq67
Here is the same page in a multi-category page: bit.ly/1e812xX

Thanks for your help.

The menu item should be put to default as well then if the one category page ordering is the one you want.

The menu item is set to default as you suggested.

I want to display both the single category and the multi category on different pages -- I want them to both have the same ordering scheme.

So you have both one and multiple categories set to Default ordering and still get a different one between those two pages, right?

Sorry missed your reply. Still trying to figure this thing out.

I don't see a multi category setting...

All child categories are set to inherit from top category. Top category is set to "ordering"

Single categories sort by order as expected.

Multi categories sort by category id > item id

I'd like: category ordering > item ordering

I experimented with changing the k2 model with limited success; but there has to be a better way.

Multicategories cannot be sorted by ordering. Which one's order will prevail. There are mutliple.

thank you for your reply,

What is defining how they are being presented now?

To come at it from another direction: Can tags be ordered by order?

I've taken apart the category page and added an if statement that if it lands on my all page, it loads the all products sub template template
	<?php if($this->params->get('pageclass_sfx') == 'products all-products'):
	
	
		$this->item=$item;
		echo $this->loadTemplate('all-products');
 
	
	else:
	?>
(than you y-designs.com )

category_all-products.php has the custom headers I am looking for. my next problem is to call the sub category under each header with a for each statement that I hop will order with "order".

The call will look something like:
$this->params->get('subCategories')

how do I call just the category "led/cove-indirect" to be displayed?
