opencart - sort by price do not care about special prices - sorting

At the store , in a category page ,when i sort by price (for both low to high or high to low ) ,
it doesnt care about the special prices , it sorts the products according to base price , not the latest decreased price..
And this causes wrong sorting for the products with special prices , it places them among the other products according to their normal price..
I couldnt find any solution , even a correct working example.
I am using 1.5.3.1 but as far as I can see this is a problem of all versions.
I will be glad if you may suggest a solution for this ?
thanks

My small suggestion can you please add this module in your opencart I think your problem will be resolve.

http://www.opencart.com/index.php?route=extension/extension/info&extension_id=3351&filter_search=special%20product%20shorting
and another way it's not possible to shorting in among with the huge number of category products in a pages so need to apply a conditional query for special products.
Thanks,
Brendon

Magento Shopping Cart Products not in input order

The company i work for running Magento 1.7.0.2 with a Cart2quote extension.
They are getting frustrated because when they add a list of products to an order in admin the products dont stay in the order that they were inputted.
Example By SKU:
Order inputted-
D707
E018
P883
P882
Order when finished inputting-
D707
P882
P883
E018
I have only used 4 as an example, although more often than not it can be in excess of 50+ products.
Could this be due to an extension confilct with cart2quote or is there some other soloution?
Sometimes, buy pressing "Updates items and qtys" it does put them in a reverse order (first product is last) and they can live with that.
But as it is now, its making it frustrating for them to double check they have inputted the correct items.
Im sorry to waffle on, but any comments would be appreciated.
Many Thanks in advance.
Dale.
I'm not familiar with this extension, but check created time, updated time, id, etc when sorting.

Configurable product based on A LOT of attributes? Am I doing this right?

I have a customer who wants to use products in the same way configurable products works, pretty much.
The problem is that the customer would have to use a lot of different attributes. Let's say he's selling custom sized papers (for some reason haha), these comes then in... let's say maybe 30 different combonations of X x Y mm (10x20mm for example).
Then another product would also use mm, but no the same. Let's say he is also selling envelope in customer sizes, these does not match the sizes of the papers so I need another 50 combinations of sizes for this product.
Is this how it usually works? Or am I using wrong product type / wrong way of doing this?
Do Admin configuration for simple product as per below screenshot
customer will see
For this type of problem if you use configurable product it will be very confusing and you will find difficulty to adding this type of product using configurable product. As you have 30 to 50 attributes.
Best option for you would be simple product with custom option.

Show simple product with all possible attribute combinations based on configurable product

I have an e-commerce site that provides made-to-order clothing. I've created a configurable product and just one associated product.
Is it possible to display all of the possible attribute combinations within just one associated product rather than manually add every combination?
I've tried allowing out of stock products to be displayed, but this didn't show all of the possible combinations.
I'm not hugely experienced with Magento, but I've used many CMS systems and inventory management products. I've never once seen a matrix / configurable / multi-variation / whatever you want to call it setup where you didn't have to create each combination as a distinct SKU. I'm not saying it's 100% impossible, but I'd view it as extremely unlikely and probably a waste of time to pursue.
Why not just create your configurable products and their sub SKUs via CSV import? It will be far easier and faster than creating them one at a time. Creating every combination will also be extremely easy. If you're not comfortable with Excel, you need to correct that yesterday if you want to be good at product management.

Magento 1.9; Price per currency

I'm working for a client which has 3 websites and multiple storeviews each. For some reason he really wants to have 3 currencies and each currency it's own price per product.
So a product can cost i.e. €49,99 / $55,- / £39,95 and these prices have to be configured for each product. To clarify: There is no relation between the prices so it can't be done with an exact percentage. Prices need to differ completely.
I've found "solutions" to make 3 separate websites with each a different price for a product, but seeing as there are already 3 websites, I'd need 9 and that's just out of the question.
Also I found extensions like this: http://www.magentocommerce.com/magento-connect/currency-pricing.html - all of 'm don't work with 1.9 and especially work worse with configurable products, which happens to be the case here.
I'm really out of ideas, anyone else got a possible fix for this?
Update 06-2016 I get quite some mails about this question, if I ever found a fix or some other solution; sadly no. I did do further investigation about it and found out that this concept goes against the core-logic of the Magento (multi)store. We've now begun to work with Magento2 and will evaluate again if it is easier in this version. If I ever get to something, I'll update the question here.
There is no fix.
I think you need an own magento for every currency cause PRODUCTS ONLY USE ONE PRICE. Sadly..

Magento multi-site pricing and per group pricing

So, the site we are working on right now is going to be Multisite and we are going to have different pricing for each website. The issue comes when one of those sites needs to have two different price lists.
There is going to be the price list for one site, and another price list for the other and then there will be a price list based on the customer group for the second site. I am not sure the best way to set this up since the pricing will be per website. The only other option that I see out of the box is to use the tiered pricing functionality and set if customer group A qty 1 and above use this price. (Thank you Joseph Mastey from one of your other answers!)
I'm concerned about this since I am doing a nightly price update as well and I assume programmatically saving this per product could be a pain. If anyone has any tips on setting the tiered pricing programmatically that would be huge or if you have another suggestion I would appreciate all that come my way!
Thanks for the mention :)
Having looked at this before, you're exactly correct. The tiered prices seem to be the only easy way to accomplish this. I have thought about trying to use multiple store views to the same effect, but I haven't had success yet.
Also, yes, updating tier prices can be a pain, I'm not sure the APIs even support it.
The API does support updating tier pricing.

If there is a simple percentage reduction for one customer group then you can use a Catalog Price Rule.
