Closed as program error.
Error description
Setting the sort order of the category facets (through the FACET table) adversely affects the sorting of categories in the top category display menu. This contradicts the expected behavior, which is documented in the IBM Knowledge Center: http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSZLC2_8.0.0/com.ibm. commerce.search.doc/tasks/tsdsearchsortcatfacets.htm The fix for this APAR provides an option to change the behavior such that updates, which are made to the FACET table, do not affect the display of the top category menu.
Local fix
Problem summary
USERS AFFECTED: WebSphere Commerce Version 7 and Version 8. PROBLEM ABSTRACT: Setting the sort order of the category facets unexpectedly changes the sort order of top category display menu BUSINESS IMPACT: Poor category layout. RECOMMENDATION:
Problem conclusion
Introduced a new configuration option to control how categories under the Top Category drop-down menu are sorted. <_config:property name="TopCategorySortOrder" value="0" /> The TopCategorySortOrder configuration option can be configured in the wc-component.xml file as an extended search configuration property. Valid values are "0" and "1". 0: Set to 0 to follow the sequence that is defined in Management Center. 1: Set to 1 to sort category alphanumerically based on the category names. The default value is 0.
