I've submitted a ticket for this but thought I would pass it on. You should all check your own stores for this...
My product pages allow my customers to sort by Name, Newest, Stock levels, Price etc (I'm sure yours do too).
I use this feature ALL of the time myself - especially to page through by low stock to see what items I'm out of.
The other day I went to use it and noticed that when I pressed the page link to go to page two - I lost the sort. I tried over and over with different sorts and could never get it to sort past page 1.
I sent a ticket in and support says "Your category has a default sort of NEWEST - so whenever that page refreshes it will always resort to your default" That is - if you set a default - you can't page by any other sort option.
This is in the Advanced Options for category setup. Since I opened my store in 2008 I have had the category default for my main product set to NEWEST and the various sorts always worked perfectly.
This ability has been taken away. If you set a default sort in your category setup - then NONE of your sorting options will work past page 1. This is so ridiculous. Such as BASIC BASIC BASIC feature and it's been taken away. Very poor programming.
I want my store to sort my different product categories differently. Some are best displayed to my customers by NAME order when the first go in - others have a high inventory turnover and my customer want to see the NEWEST items first.
This is so stupid.
