title: Magento - set default product sort on single category only
body: <p>I am trying to set default (uneditable) sort for a single category in Magento to SKU DESC and hide the sort option on that category only</p>
  
  <p>basically I want this to only sort on SKU, DESC... regardless of what options were selected on other pages before hitting this page</p>
  
  <p>So far I am able to hide the sort feature, no problem, but setting the sort is giving me some trouble</p>
  
  <p>I have added in: /app/design/frontend/default/idp/template/catalog/category/view.phtml</p>
  
  <pre><code>if($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] == {MY IP}) :
    if($_category-&gt;getId() == 4) :
      $_category-&gt;_data['default_sort_by'] = "sku_sort";
     endif;
  endif;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This is setting the default sort order on this page fine, but I cannot find how to force it to go DESC instead of ASC.. any help would be appreciated</p>
  
  <p>as a temporary fix until I figure this out, I am using the solution found <a href="http://magento2x.com/magento-sort-newest-products-solution/" rel="nofollow">here</a>, the first comment on the page has a specialized solution (changed <code>created_at</code> to <code>sku</code>)
  The only problem with this solution is it affects all sku based sorting pages and results, not just the single page</p>
