Try this :

$_productCollection = Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->getCollection();
$_productCollection->addAttributeToSelect('*');
$_productCollection->addAttributeToSort('description', 'ASC');
echo "<pre>";print_r($_productCollection->getData());

  • try to add this line : $_productCollection->addAttributeToSort('description', 'ASC'); after $_productCollection=$this->getLoadedProductCollection(); in the list.phtml. Ofcourse my advice would be to copy the list.phtml in your local folder. – Manashvi Birla May 25 '15 at 9:39
