catlady,
Yes, it can be changed. But it will affect all search types. The default sort order is on the ID field. And it can be changed to the Name field if you wish.
There is a file named: /locator/include/location.class.php and it holds the sorting routines.
The function is named: function order_result and should be on line # 191.
It will look like this:
CODE
default:
$this->_order = " ORDER BY pref ASC,id";
and you can change it too this:
CODE
default:
$this->_order = " ORDER BY pref ASC, name ASC";
Depending on the version you have, your file may be encoded and not editable. If so, just open a new trouble ticket in our eSupport Center and attach your file. We will make the changes for you and send it back to you.
Hope this helps.
