Problem with Sort by?

Question

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 ?

Answer 1

I think you have changed the

<catalog_category_layered translate="label">
        <label>Catalog Category (Anchor)</label>
        <reference name="left">
            <block type="catalog/layer_view" name="catalog.leftnav" after="currency" template="catalog/layer/view.phtml"/>
        </reference>.

Try to convert this also

<catalog_category_default translate="label">
        <label>Catalog Category (Non-Anchor)</label>
        <reference name="left">
            <block type="catalog/navigation" name="catalog.leftnav" after="currency" template="catalog/navigation/left.phtml"/>
        </reference>.

The issue may be by this ,i didn't test the code .
