Hi

If you use the filter tag and insert the filters in the search template like this:

<form name="EcomSearch" class="form-filters" method="get" action="/Default.aspx">
     <input type="submit" style="display:none;">
    <input type="hidden" name="SortBy" value="@if (Dynamicweb.Input.FormatBoolean(GetValue("Server:Request.sortby"))) { GetValue("Server:Request.sortby"); }" />
    <input type="hidden" name="SortOrder" value="@if(Dynamicweb.Input.FormatBoolean(GetValue("Server:Request.sortorder"))) { GetValue("Server:Request.sortorder"); }" />

    @GetValue("B-filter1")
    @GetValue("A-filter2")
  </form>

You will get the filters in the order they are defined in the template (B-filter1 first then A-filter2).

I noticed the same today :P

Maybe we should make a feature request to allow sorting of the filters?

Hi Thomas,

Yes, that works but requires a developer to modify the template code. It would be a lot easier if a content manager could do this in the backend.

Remi: good idea.

Sure that would be easier. A complete redesign of the filter setup would probably be a good idea. It would be nice with an easier handling of filters per group (http://developer.dynamicweb-cms.com/forum/ecommerce-standard-features/different-filters-per-group.aspx), improved visibility of dependencies of other filters and perhaps an auto update of index on save (or at least the possibility).
