By | Last Updated: July 25, 2015 | In: Magento


Today one of the my client has sent a new problem in his Magento Store, He has the problem with the sort order of the product in new search. In the Magento search it remembers the Sort By Order selected by the user on the new search. Let me explain the problem here visit your Magento Store and make a search and on the search result page click on the Sort By Position or Name or Price, Suppose you have selected the Sort By Price in Descending Order, and now make a new search and analyze the search result it will display all the products Sorted by the Price in Descending Order Although the default might be relevance. Where as whenever you are making a new search it should display the products with the default sort by options. In this post I am trying to describe how to get rid of such kind of problem, it is very easy just follow the steps given below:
