Local fix
Problem summary
USERS AFFECTED: WebSphere Commerce V7 Feature Pack 7 clients. PROBLEM ABSTRACT: Cannot sort category facets alphabetically or by particular sequence BUSINESS IMPACT: Cannot order products properly at the storefront. RECOMMENDATION:
Problem conclusion
Summary of fix characteristics - Category display order is now consistent between top navigation menu and category facet during browsing - 3 options for display order -- 1) sort by facet entry count -- 2) sort by category name -- 3) sort by Management Center sequence - When showing search result of a keyword search operation, category facet entries can only be ordered and displayed by facet count (with highest at the top) - Category facet sequence order is a site level IT configuration and cannot be modified by business user - Special case when a category filter is applied on top of a keyword search result, then the resulting category facet display order will restore the same behavior as browsing Note: another APAR JR54769 may be required when linked category cannot be shown properly in the category facet.
