John,
|NOOO!!!
|You should be in Admin - Tables - Cat or Admin - Tables - Area...
|The left side is database driven...
<grin> okay, I went to Admin-Tables-Cat, and checked on these records:
1007 1007 Food name simple products category=Dog_Food
1008 1008 Food name simple products category=Cat_Food
Then made sure and clicked the "Edit Checked Records in Sequence", each record
came up in turn, and clicked the "OK" button with the auto export checked. Then
I hit "Apply Changes" at bottom of page. BTW, I do get this every single time I
hit that:
Reconfiguring catalog: ...
please wait...
please wait...
please wait...
please wait...
please wait...
WARNING: Reconfiguration may have timed out.
Last config: Thu Feb 8 14:39:28 2001 (return)
When I get to the "Add new Item" page in the UI, I *still* have only one "Food"
category to pick from. Now that we got that straightened out, how to I sort the
items?
Wanna come to my house? I'll fix you dinner.
