Proposal Summary
This proposal covers the scope of sorting the items by sub category in the Order form of Point Australia website.
Requirement
The website order form is now sorting the items with parent category only. The items need to be sorted based on the subcategory as well.
For example, Point Accessories: Category=Hair, Sub-category=Elastics.
Current Working
The current working of “Sorting by category” is, when we do ‘sort by category’ then we are getting subcategories also.
These are the options we are getting while doing ‘sort by category’.
Our Solution
We are considering the “Sort by subcategory” as a new sorting option in the order form.
We have a field ‘PRODUCT CATEGORY’ in Product list items.
The ‘Product category ‘field contains category and subcategory separated by a ’:’. We can take the subcategory value from this field and can pass this value for sorting.
But for some items there is no subcategory field so it will be sorted by category.
We can add the ‘sort by category ‘option in the drop-down list.
So, we need to update the existing extension to achieve this functionality.
