 * Hi,
 * thank you for this plugin! We are testing the free trial at the moment and my
   colleague seems to like it. There are just a few minor issues:
 * 1. empty custom fields are shown even though I enabled the option to hide them–
   I can send you a screenshot if needed.
 * 2. Can’t you list products in the order they were entered?
 * 3. minor translation thing: in the German version, the price filter is still 
   in English. I don’t think I can change that in the backend.
 * Would be great if you could help there.
 * Thank you in advance!

 * Hi esoma,
 * About the minor issues that you mentioned:
 * 1. We just had a look and it seems as though the feature is currently only affecting
   the tabbed product page type. I can see that the empty fields are still showing
   on the default product page type. Is this the one you’re using? We’ll take a 
   look to see if we can get this updated, so that it’s hidden on the default product
   page as well.
 * 2. In order to arrange the items in the catalogue please click on the catalogue
   that you want to edit under the Catalogue Tab in the plugin Dashboard. If you
   scroll to the bottom of the screen, you will see a list of all products in that
   catalogue. You can just drag and drop them in the correct order that you desire.
 * Please Note: If you have categories for different products, the catalogue will
   show the categories instead of the products(You can still drag and drop the categories
   in order). To change the order of products in each category, you can do the same
   as above. Select the category under the Category tab in the plugin Dashboard 
   and scroll to the bottom. There you will see all the products in that category
   that you can drag and drop in order.
 * 3. Unfortunately there is currently no labelling option for the price filter.
   The two alternative ways to change it would be to either create a translation(
   using a program like Poedit) or to modify it directly in the plugin code. This
   is found in the “Shortcodes.php” file in the “Functions” folder.
    It’s important
   to note, though, that any changes made here would be overwritten if you update
   the plugin.

 * Hi,
 * thank you for the fast reply!
 * 1. yes, we are using the default product page type. Would be great to have this
   work there.
 * 2. I noticed it’s possible to sort products manually. Your answer confirms what
   I thought: this is not possible as a preset configuration. So here is my suggestion:
   
   it’s great that there are some sorting options and filters for users, but it 
   would be a very useful addition to be able to set a custom sorting order for 
   the catalog (sort by name, date of entry or price, for example). Otherwise you’d
   have to go through this additional step of sorting your products each time you
   enter new ones.

 * Hi esoma,
 * 2. Both the catalog and the categories have buttons that you can use to sort 
   them alphabetically or reverse alphabetically.
