Question

A client has asked if they can prioritise a certain product in their online catalogue so that it appears as the second product rather than the sixth or so. Is this possible?

This is all I can find in the help section, which points to a no answer.

Customizing how sub-catalogs list appears

{tag_cataloguelist,rowLength,targetFrame,notUsed,sortType,hideEmptyMessage,list/table}

rowLength Number of catalogs per
row
targetFrame e.g. _blank.
Specify the frame you want the product
to open in
resultsPerPage
Number of catalogs you wish to display
before the page paginates

notUsed this field is not currently
used. Leave empty.
sortType
   – Alphabetical
   – Weight (Defaut)
hideEmptyMessage if a catalog does not
have any sub-catalogs you will see a
message
This catalog has no
sub-catalogs. You can hide it by
setting it to true.

Hopefully I’m just missing a really obvious control in the BC interface somewhere.

Answer 1

So that help documentation you’ve pulled up is regarding catalogs. If you want the catalogs to appear in a different order, use the “Weight” sortType in your tag_cataloguelist and assign weights to your catalogs when setting them up.

For individual products in the list view, assign a weight to each product under eCommerce > Products in the detailed product settings. You can also assign weights in bulk by downloading the entire product list then reimporting the product database.
