texte = All, Me again. I can't seem to get the directory listings to sort without going in the giving every listing a rank. Isn't there a way I can change the sort to sort by LNAME, FNAME, etc? I've looked at the docs and got the directory categories to sort by changing the cat_database.tpl file, but I can't seem to find the code in the view_database.inc file that will do the same thing for the directory listings. Also, I can't seem to be able to sort the products with any kind of reliable results. What file would I look at to change that? Can I add a rank to the database and make it sort by the rank (what the customer wants)? I'm sure it's pretty simple, but I'm still new at this and need to stop chasing my tail. Thanks in advance.
