My question, is there a way to somehow retain their old product sort order when exporting from one store (the live store) to another (the dev store)? I suspect it would have to be done via MySQL, so has anyone accomplished this and if so, are their tips you can share to make it go more smoothly for us?
We have a client that is upgrading from MMUI v5 to CSSUI v9. The issue is their data. It's always been recommended to us that in these types of re-do's, importing data from scratch via the normal tools is the easiest way to go about this, and in almost all cases it has proven correct.
HOWEVER, we have a client now with a catalog of about 10,000 products, and about 200 categories, and they need their products to be sorted the exact same way they are on their currently live site, in the "now being developed" dev site.
Upon import, the sorting they've done manually over the years went bye-bye. We have the Sort Cats and Prods module, but sorting by "newest to oldest" isn't good enough. They say they really, really need to keep the sorting exact.
