I’ll be clear… Magento is not good as you could imagine. In fact sucks in so many ways.

Today i’m showing you one. There is no backend option to change the Default Sort Order in your product listing (catalog).

Lucky there is an easy solution.

The Toolbar

Look for the file toolbar.php located in:

/app/code/core/Mage/Catalog/Block/Product/List

Create the Local folder

Create the same folder structure in the local. Now the future upgrades will not affect your changes.

Should be like:

/app/code/local/Mage/Catalog/Block/Product/List

Edit the Toolbar

If you need to change the Price Range in your Magento catalog go to:

app/code/core/Mage/Catalog/Model/Layer/Filter/Price.php

Look for the line:

Change the 10 for a lower / higher number.

Tested in the 1.4 version

There is no simple way to change the decimal numbers in the Weight Attribute in Magento.

And is not a specific solution either.

What can we do?

For example, we can force to all numeric attributes to show with 2 decimals.

Open the attributes.phtml located in:

app/design/frontend/YOUR THEME/template/catalog/product/view/
