Category products on homepage

[miller75]

I am using the following widget to show products on my home page to show products from a category , the only thing is that the products are displayed in id descending order, so the newest first I want to sort them the opposite was, how do I change the sort order?

{{widget type="Magento\CatalogWidget\Block\Product\ProductsList" show_pager="0" products_count="10" template="Magento_CatalogWidget:roduct/widget/content/grid.phtml" conditions_encoded="^[`1`:^[`type`:`Magento||CatalogWidget||Model||Rule||Condition||Combine`,`aggregator`:`all`,`value`:`1`,`new_child`:``^],`1--1`:^[`type`:`Magento||CatalogWidget||Model||Rule||Condition||Product`,`attribute`:`category_ids`,`operator`:`==`,`value`:`3`^]^]" type_name="Catalog Products List"}}

Hello @miller75 

I understand the require which you are trying to achieve.

Actually have seen similar problem on a stackexchange and have proper solution for this - kindly find this link - https://magento.stackexchange.com/questions/127221/magento-2-catalog-product-list-widget-product-ord...

Here they have created a custom module to do this - and there is one github extension link to sort the same - https://github.com/rianorie/magento2-sortcatalogwidget

Try one of the solution and it will works  !

Hope it helps !

I have seen this but I am new to Magento so I wasn't sure what to do with it

Thanks

Hello @miller75 

Try to download the module from below link

https://github.com/rianorie/magento2-sortcatalogwidget

and install into app/code/Elastomatic/SortCatalogWidget

then after run setup upgrade command, now in widget you will get option to sort it

Thanks for that, I have installed the module and the sort order is in the widget page. but when I add a sort it doesn't change the order of the products.

This is the widget code, could it be using the wrong template?

<p>{{widget type="Magento\CatalogWidget\Block\Product\ProductsList" show_pager="0" products_count="10" template="Magento_CatalogWidget::product/widget/content/grid.phtml" cache_lifetime="2" sort_by="price" sort_direction="DESC" conditions_encoded="^[`1`:^[`type`:`Magento||CatalogWidget||Model||Rule||Condition||Combine`,`aggregator`:`all`,`value`:`1`,`new_child`:``^],`1--1`:^[`type`:`Magento||CatalogWidget||Model||Rule||Condition||Product`,`attribute`:`category_ids`,`operator`:`==`,`value`:`3`^]^]" type_name="Catalog Products List"}}</p>
