Sort alphabetically in product hierarchy

[tne]

Hello!
I need to sort alphabetically product hierarchy. Output pattern is:

Code: Select all

{if !isset($hdepth) && isset($hierarchy_item)}
<h3>Hierarchy Data for {$hierarchy_item.name} ({$hierarchy_item.id})</h3>
{/if}

{if !isset($hdepth)}{assign var='hdepth' value='0'}{/if}
{foreach from=$hierdata key='key' item='item'}
{strip}

<div id="aa" onclick="switchDisplay('{$item.name}')">
 {if isset($active_hierarchy) and $item.id == $active_hierarchy} class="active"{/if}


  {if $item.count gt 0}
    <a href="{$item.url}" class='katalog_link'>{$item.name}</a>
  {else}
    {$item.name}
  {/if}</div>
  

  {if isset($item.children) }

<div class='left_kataloog_otstup' id="{$item.name}" style="width:180px;display:none;font-size: 14px;">

  {include file=$smarty.template hierdata=$item.children hdepth=$hdepth+1}

</div>

  {/if}
  
 
{/strip}
{/foreach}

ohw uhh wait...
Why not use sort parameters in the Products tag? Read module help for more info.

Code: Select all

{Products action="hierarchy" sortorder="asc" pagelimit="10"}

does not work
I have tried 100 variations, but nothing earned
Tell me how to apply your modifier.sort_array.php for this case?

I don't use hierarchy in Products, but I do sort successfully using sortby="[FieldName]". It looks like you are specifying sortorder (up or down) but forgetting sortby?

From Products help:

(optional) sortby="product_name" - Applicable in the summary, categorylist or search actions, this parameter determines the sorting of the output. Possible values are:
item_name
id -- The item id
weight -- The item weight
price -- The item base price
status -- Draft or published
random -- Display in random order on each request
created -- The creation date for this company record
modified -- The modified date for this company record
f:fieldname -- Allows sorting by values of custom fields.

The category list view supports only a few specific sorting options:
id -- The category id.
name -- The category name.

(optional) sortorder="asc" - Specify the order of sorted fields in summary (including after a search) view. Possible values are:
asc -- Ascending order
desc -- Descending order
