If you like store products to be displayed in SKU (ascending) order by default when looking at the category product listing pages.

Here is the How to:

You’ll need to modify the attribute on the backend.

1. Go to Catalog >> Attributes >> Manage Attributes.
2. Click on your SKU attribute.
3. Under Frontend Properties (on the first screen, at the very bottom) change Used for sorting in product listing to “Yes.”
4. Go to Catalog >> Manage Categories.
5. Click on the category you want to sort by SKU.
6. Click on the Display Settings tab.
7. Under Default Product Listing Sort by, uncheck the “Use Config Settings” and then select SKU from the dropdown. (Obviously if you want this to be the default for the entire site, you can change it in System >> Configuration >> Sales >> Catalog instead.)

The private SSL certificate is an important upgrade to your website. The basic function of an SSL is to encrypt all communication between the browser and the server, ensuring that all data goes through a secure (HTTPS) connection. An SSL certificate is a necessity when you want to operate an online shop and process the sensitive customers data through your software. It helps you gain your clients’ trust and increase your web site’s search engines rank.

The certificate could be easily enabled through the Magento Admin area -> System -> Configuration -> Web. There you can define the insecure (non-SSL) and secure (SSL) URLs:

In the Base URL fields you should enter the unsecure (regular) web site URL and the web site URL for the SSL connections. You can leave the other values unchanged, as they will be set automatically by the script after you enter the Base URL. Basically the other fields define the URLs of the main Magento store page and the URLs of the skin, media and JavaScript folders. The drop-down menus allow you to enable and disable the SSL support for the web site’s frontend and backend.

Bear in mind that the SSL connection over HTTPS is slower than the HTTP, thus secured connection should be applied only to the pages that contain and process sensitive information. Also, it is recommended to run the admin interface through an SSL. In this way you will increase the security of the script’s backend.
