Product sorting doesn`t work for 1column template

[deiserh]

If a one column template is used for the category view page the sorting doesn`t work. The reason for that is, that the filter will be moved from sidebar.main container to content.top container. The elastic module loads the collection on _renderFilterBefore.

The Problem is, that on a one column template the _renderFilterBefore will be called before the sort order from toolbarblock (part of content container) is added to the query.

Magento Version: 2.1.3
Elasticsuite Version: 2.3.1

Hello @deiserh,

I just tested it by switching a category layout to "1 column", and I don't see any problem regarding the sorting.

Do you use the standard "1 column" layout or are you using a custom one ?

Hi,

I thought that the 1 column layout are the standard one. But after your comment I tried to switch the layout in the category from 1 column to 2 column and this doesn`t work neither, so I assume the fault is on our site. I am Sorry for the effort.

No problem,

issues concerning sorting/filtering are often due to the same causes :

• you have a layout which is moving the product_list_toolbar block outside the ListProduct block.
• you have a layout which is removing the product_list_toolbar.
• you have a layout which is rendering the layered navigation blocks before the product listing.

This is a known problem which is also occuring on the Magento's native search implementation and is due to the strong dependency between the product_list block and the toolbar. You can see the Magento's internal issue tracked here : magento/magento2#7253

Best regards,

@romainruaud We are on the newest version of your module and on Magento 2.1.6 and experience a page-reload on changing an order- of sort- option on both catalog- and search-page, but nothing changes to the product order or sorting.

- you have a layout which is moving the product_list_toolbar block outside the ListProduct block
- you have a layout which is removing the product_list_toolbar.
- you have a layout which is rendering the layered navigation blocks before the product listing.

Checked your list, but all was well, still no response to the variables. After debugging I found out that even in the Block/Product/ProductList/Toolbar.php:

                $this->_collection->setOrder($this->getCurrentOrder(), $this->getCurrentDirection());

where tested to be the right Order and Direction value as users enter in at the frontend, still Smile-SA does not seem to use them.
