Manufacturer Listing

I've been playing around with the manufacturer listing on the nop homepage and was wondering where you'd find the file(s) to change the output order (to alphabetical or whatever)?  I'm having a hard time finding it in the directory structure....I'm sure it's right in front of me but I can't locate it.

Thanks!

nop.Srevices.catalog.manufcturerService.cs

Alternately, if you don't want to change the code, you can use SQL to update the DisplayOrder in the table.
(But, you'll have to do this periodically as you add new manufacturers)


WITH Sorted as
    (
    SELECT (ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY Name ASC)) as RowNumber
                ,m.*
    FROM Manufacturer m
    )
UPDATE Sorted
   SET DisplayOrder = RowNumber

Thanks hezyz...I'm just learning the structure of the system.  

NY, that was a good idea to update the display order in the db.  That may be best in the long run...new manufacturers are few and far between and wouldn't be a lot of trouble to set the disp order manually.

Appreciate the input!

What version are you working from?  I have 2.10 installed and this .cs file is nowhere to be found.

My directory structure doesn't look anything like this.  I don't have a src folder at all (unless it's located outside the web folder?).  However I did download a beta of 2.2 and when unpacked I can see the src/libraries folder.  I had been advised in another thread to wait for the official release since I'm new to this technology so maybe I just need to sit tight and wait on 2.2.
