You can do by rewrite class `Mage_Catalog_Block_Product_List_Toolbar`. at `setCollection()` add this code: ->setOrder('name','DESC')->setOrder('name','DESC') Rewrite class ------------- <?php class [ModuleNameSpace]_[ModuleName]_Block_Catalog_Product_List_Toolbar extends Mage_Catalog_Block_Product_List_Toolbar { public function setCollection($collection) { $this->_collection = $collection; $this->_collection->setCurPage($this->getCurrentPage()); // we need to set pagination only if passed value integer and more that 0 $limit = (int)$this->getLimit(); if ($limit) { $this->_collection->setPageSize($limit); } if ($this->getCurrentOrder()) { $this->_collection->setOrder($this->getCurrentOrder(), $this->getCurrentDirection()); } // add this $this->_collection->setOrder('name','DESC')->setOrder('name','DESC'); return $this; } } Rewrite code at config.xml -------------------------- <global> <blocks> [.....] <catalog> <rewrite> <product_list_toolbar>[ModuleNameSpace]_[ModuleName]_Block_Catalog_Product_List_Toolbar</product_list_toolbar> </rewrite> </catalog> [.....] </blocks> </global>
