I’m setting up a new store using 1.4.1

I’m trying sort the products in the list by the subcategories they belong to. At the top of list.phtml is

$_productCollection=$this->getLoadedProductCollection();

I tried adding sort filters to that by adding the line

$_productCollection->setOrder('category_ids', 'asc')->setOrder('name', 'asc');

I also tried addAttributeToSort instead of setOrder. This doesn’t seem to have any effect. I’m guessing that $_productCollection is not a model I can sort in this manner. I have been digging around trying to find the correct place to apply the sort method without any success.

Can someone tell me the proper place to do this?

    $this->getLoadedProductCollection();

    just returns the collection of products which are returned by the block from back-end.

    if you want to add some custom code for the product collection then edit the file under the folder hierarchy 

    app/code/core/Mage/Block/catalog/product/list.php

    You will find the same named function i.e. getLoadedProductCollection() track its working and finally you will find the solution.
