I'm organizing my attributes to show in a specific order in layered navigation. To do this I need to set the 'position' value of them all. Magento defaults them to 0 so to put an attribute (say color) at the top of the list, I'll need to change the position of them all, which can get tedious.

What code can I use to reset all my attributes to 100 and to change the defaults?

Bonus: To exclude specific attributes from being reset such as Mage::getResourceModel('catalog/attributes')->excludeFilter(array('color', 'size')->walk('delete');

Note: Changing the default position of a product has already been discussed. I'm looking to change the position of the attribute itself.

ANSWER: Thank you saravanavelu for your pointer.

Here is the code I was looking for:

UPDATE `catalog_eav_attribute` SET `position`= 100 WHERE `attribute_id` NOT IN (130, 140, 120)

where the numbers are attribute codes. Attribute codes are found in the URL of the Edit Attribute page.

Try this to change the position,

//72 is description's attribute id
UPDATE `catalog_eav_attribute` SET `position`= 100 WHERE `attribute_id` = 72

  • Why do you want me to change the attribute called 'description'?

  • I see the table in phpmyadmin. Shouldn't the column name be position? Also would you be able to try for the Bonus. I'm not so great at SQL queries.
