How does it not pertain to existing catalogs?

I would have thought that the method of sorting they present would work on
any catalog.

Hey, that also works on the catalog tutorial.  :)

Change this line:

  [loop search="ra=yes/fi=products/tf=price/to=n"]

to these lines:

  [loop search="ra=yes/fi=products/to=n"]
  [sort products:price]

Note the removal of 'tf=price' from the loop tag, and moving an equivalent
entry into a sort tag.


Funky!


I suppose the only question is: which is more efficient?
