I am working with magento 1.7.0.2. I have a problem with navigation layer. I moved the Sort by block from right to left and it work (Sort by Price) only when i have product in categories. When i don't have any product it doesn't work and the Sort by categories appears in right.
That is what i did : I changed in app\design\frontend\default\default\layout\catalog.xml
in Catalog Category (Anchor) i add this code :
<reference name="root">
<action method="setTemplate"><template>page/3columns.phtml</template></action>
</reference>
and i edit this code :
<reference name="right">
<block type="catalog/layer_view" name="catalog.leftnav" before="-" template="catalog/layer/view.phtml"/>
</reference>
To
<reference name="left">
<block type="catalog/layer_view" name="catalog.leftnav" before="-" template="catalog/layer/view.phtml"/>
</reference>
What is my problem ?
