The short_description field is not available really anywhere in the system except for Simple sorting sheet. It is sort of a bug, too, because Simple sorting sheet pulls it from the current product database, rather than what that item code was when it was ordered.

So if your item codes changed between when someone ordered something, and viewing the item on Simple sorting sheet, it could show an incorrect short_description. This has happened before with Mt. Rose Herbs, where the regional database (user-maintained) has item codes that change each month.

Probably too much information for you, but the short answer is: I recommend you not use short_description; just use description instead, or if you have another unused field (like manufacturer or sub_category2), you can put short description info in there and rename the column header.

oops - ok - i put it in sub category 2 and am displaying it but I want that column after description.....how do i change column order?

[k8inmd]

more trouble - its also a 'clickable' field - which I don't want Should I just make another field 'text' and change the header then?

[k8inmd]

never mind - I figured it out - sorry to bother you

[k8inmd]

well - guess i dont have permission to make these changes - i get an 'alter' command error....

so - i am going to stop messaging you now - please tell me how to adjust this.

thanks for all your help

You cannot change the order that columns display on the page using CSS, since that is done by the dynamic HTML. Do you really need them to show in a certain order? Can you tell me which of your sources you are doing this in, so I can take a look? Also, describe exactly what you are trying to do, so I can come up with the best solution.
