It might be useful for various shop owners though to either reset this to a certain key or in general set it to one of the preset keys and directions.

Sven Brunk 2022-02-01 14:45 administrator ~0013664	Unfortunately this is a bit difficult as the sortings in the frontend relate to theme settings while the categories have their own settings. So doing this would need a rewrite of the theme
