Ok.  I had trouble before with downloading the csv file for the maillist, it got corrupt and we had to start over.  Too much time put into the database to risk that again.  I will look into the ATS mod. Thanks for the reply.

I installed this mod and it works great for the catagories listing on the right, but it doesnt affect the product catagories displayed with catagory graphics in the center of the online store page?  Is there a way to control or rearrange that too?  This was really what we wanted to accomplish in the first place.  TY for any help.

I am trying to order the "Catagories" displayed on the online store page, not the products within the catagories. Can this mod do that?

Yes this can be done. It is done much like the products but it is done to the category table. If you have access to database Utility and you are running in MySql you can sort by any column. If you do not you can convert to csv mode through the admin and download the category.csv from your table directory. Remember to back it up and always transfer csv files in Binary mode.  I find this to be the best way without paying for a mod if you have a specific order in mind. For example if you sell candy and you have three categories such as Dark Chocolate, white chocolate and milk chocolate you may want milk chocolate the be the first on the page. You can accomplish this by manually adjusting the csv file.

Remember though the order will remain as you set it, any category you add will be placed at the end. Therefore without a sorting mod you would need to manually redo the previous steps if you wanted the new category at the top.

HTH,

JPL,  If you add a column to the DB, then follow KAZ's post to avoid errors, you can add whatever number, letter or code you want to use and sort on.
