Would it be easier when you but stuff at a particular website that shows you all of the related products you might want to add in your shopping cart. Take for instance buying a inkjet printer and you might want to buy of course additional cartridges that comes with it.

In this post, the setOrder function comes into place

Copy Crosssell.php into app/code/local/Mage/Checkout/Block/Cart

Then, at line 150: _getCollection() function, insert setOrder function and set the attribute code and order parameter you desire.

protected function _getCollection() {
    $collection = Mage::getModel('catalog/product_link')->useCrossSellLinks()
        ->getProductCollection()
        ->setStoreId(Mage::app()->getStore()->getId())
        ->addStoreFilter()
        ->setOrder('attribute_set_id', 'asc') // Order by attribute set
        ->setPageSize($this->_maxItemCount);
    $this->_addProductAttributesAndPrices($collection);

    Mage::getSingleton('catalog/product_status')
    	->addSaleableFilterToCollection($collection);
    Mage::getSingleton('catalog/product_visibility')
    	->addVisibleInCatalogFilterToCollection($collection);
    Mage::getSingleton('cataloginventory/stock')
    	->addInStockFilterToCollection($collection);

    return $collection;
}

This also applies if you’re going to use the Related.php, instead of Crosssell.php.In my case, I’m stuck and okay with using the latter.

And my template would be this:

foreach($this->getItems() as $_item): ?>
    if ( $setId != $_item->getAttributeSetId() ) :
        $setId = $_item->getAttributeSetId();

getAttributeSetId() ) ?>

Now, I cant’ figure out how to get the attribute set name by id, so product_attribute_set.list SoapCleint service method. Hope someone will shed some light.

global $attribute_code, $attributeSets;

$proxy = new SoapClient($this->getBaseUrl().'api/soap/?wsdl');
$sessionId = $proxy->login('your apiUser', 'your apiKey');
$attributeSets = $proxy->call($sessionId, 'product_attribute_set.list');

//Get Attrinute Name
if (!function_exists('_getAttributeSet')) {
    function _getAttributeSet($id) {
        global $attributeSets;
        $setName = '';
        foreach($attributeSets as $set) {
            if ($set['set_id'] == $id ) {
                $setName = $set['name'];
            }
        }
        return $setName;
    }
}

That’s it. Enjoy!
