Product Sort Options

Will someone please direct me to the source code file (3.60) for editing the product sort options list?

I want to remove "position" and "created on" and re-order the other options so it is "high to low" - "low to high" - "A to Z" - "Z to A".

Similar to the post here, https://www.nopcommerce.com/boards/t/31049/allow-store-owner-to-decide-the-product-sorting-options-available-per-category.aspx, but for 3.6 the filepath is a bit different.

The easiest way to hide some sort options is to edit 'PrepareSortingOptions' method in the 'CatalogContoller'.
Add after

foreach (ProductSortingEnum enumValue in Enum.GetValues(typeof(ProductSortingEnum))) {

the following string:

if(enumValue == ProductSortingEnum.Position || enumValue == ProductSortingEnum.CreatedOn) continue;

You can re-order it in the same method.

Could you give me a filepath for "PrepareSortingOptions"? I don't see it in the catalog controller (I am using 3.60). The only file I have found which has anything related to sorting is nop\views\catalog\_CatalogSelectors. It has the following code:

@*sorting*@
    @if (Model.AllowProductSorting)
    {
        <div class="product-sorting">
            <span>@T("Catalog.OrderBy")</span>
            @Html.DropDownList("products-orderby", Model.AvailableSortOptions, new { onchange = "setLocation(this.value);" })
        </div>

Nop.Web\Controllers\CatalogController.cs -> PrepareSortingOptions method

Go to ProductSortingEnum.cs file. Which is Nop.core/Domain/Catalog
Edit your enum. As you want.

I am not editing this in Visual Studio. I am editing the files using notepad++ directly on the server.

My site, Nop, has the following folders; Administration, App_Data, Bin, Content, Plugins, Scripts, Themes, Views, and contains the ErrorPage, favicon, FileNotFound, Global, license, and Web files.

Searching for the file, returns no results. Is there any reason why that file is not accessible?

Actually you are using no source file. thats why you dont find this file.

Thank you Anik!

Excuse me, I still do not understand how to configure the default sort to "PriceAsc". You can clear my head perhaps including changes to the code.

thank you

Hi.
What version of nopCommerce do you use?
In the 3.80 you don't need to change the code, go to the catalog settings and configure an order of sorting options by changing display order.
