Summary	0002992: Selected sorting, items per page and type of the list is not saved when navigating to other category
Description	If the customer selects sorting for category A and than goes to category B sorting hast to be selected again. Code in alist, oxubase causing this problem. A possible fix, would use a fixed $cnid parameter for setItemSorting, getSorting and getSortingSql in alist, like in search-view. I think the real intention of this code is to store different sorting settings in session for different object-types and this would make sense, since different objects can have different properties to sort against. But storing different sorting settings for different objects with the same type makes no sense, or is at least counter-intuitive for the customer. Decision is to save the sorting of the list for user, that it would be applied to other category lists, when navigating through the shop. Also for user convenience shop should save two other options - "type of the list" (Grid/Double grid/Line) and the "items per page".
Steps To Reproduce	1.) Select a category in shop frontend 2.) Setup sorting 3.) Select other category => Sorting is lost

dainius.bigelis 2012-03-16 10:44 reporter ~0006016	We are discussing in team, maybe implement an option for that, which would mark if sorting should be saved for other categories or no. Also when option would be ON - it would save not only the sorting, but List type (grid/double grid/line) and items per page. Decision will follow.

dainius.bigelis 2012-03-29 15:43 reporter ~0006112	Decision is taken to save the sorting, together with "items per page" and type of the list. I changed bug description according that.

dainius.bigelis 2012-04-25 12:17 reporter ~0006443	Issue reopened, because fix was not correct and leads to other issues in sorting

Linas Kukulskis 2013-01-09 16:52 reporter ~0008242	fixed, sorting will be applied for all product list: category, search, vendor, manufacturer, tag.
