Magento : Product list page wrong sorting by price

Magento : Product list page wrong sorting by price

When we install webtex_customergroupprice it has a bug when it sorts products

on product list page it is not correct. For this we need to change collections orderby.

We add

$collection->getSelect()->reset(Zend_Db_Select::ORDER)->order('(min_price)'.$orderDir);

at the end of the function public function sortByPrice() in file "app/code/local/Webtex/Customer

GroupsPrice/Model/Observer.php".

Refresh Cache and the sorting is perfect.

Magento : Show guest name in last 5 orders magento admin dashboard

Show guest name in last 5 orders magento admin dashboard

On the magento community admin dashboard, Under "Last 5 orders" if there is an order by guest it doesnot show the name of guest customer. There were many instances when my clients wanted to show the names of guest too.
For this i have some suggestions. We can show the name from billing address there instead of the customer name. If you think my suggestion is feasible, i request to add this modification to the coming release of magento.
I have coded for this
In Mage/Adminhtml/Block/Dashboard/Orders/Grid.php about line '51' replace "->joinCustomerName('customer')"  with ->joinCustomerBName('customer')
and  in Mage/Reports/Model/Resource/Order/Collection.php

 add a function
 public function joinCustomerBName($alias = 'name')
    {
        $fields      = array('t2.firstname', 't2.lastname');
        $fieldConcat = $this->getConnection()->getConcatSql($fields, ' ');
        $this->getSelect()
        ->join(array('t2' => 'sales_flat_order_address'),'main_table.billing_address_id = t2.entity_id')->columns(array($alias => $fieldConcat));
       

        return $this;
    }

Magento 1.6.1.0 : Custom option values not displaying at Orders in the Admin Page

In Magento 1.6.1.0 , when a product with custom option is ordered, the custom option values which are selected by customer do not display in  Orders in the Admin Page.( Sales >> Orders ). Also it is not displayed in the Invoice too.
But the values are visible at the order mails . Also when we will try to edit the order at Admin Orders itself, we will be able to see the values which are chosen by custome.

A simple solution to fix this bug:

Comment this line
<?php //$_option = $this->getFormattedOption($_option['value']); ?>

at line 44
in file "/app/design/adminhtml/default/default/template/sales/items/column/name.phtml"
