Wordpress Search Results in Order

One of my clients websites, www.kevinsplants.co.uk is not showing the search results in alphabetical order, how do I go about ordering the results in alphabetical order?

We are using the Shopp plugin and I believe its that plugin that is generating the results!

Cheers, Brad

case "orderby-list":
            if (isset($Shopp->Category->controls)) return false;
            if (isset($Shopp->Category->smart)) return false;
            $menuoptions = Category::sortoptions();
            $title = "";
            $string = "";
            $default = $Shopp->Settings->get('default_product_order');
            if (empty($default)) $default = "title";

            if (isset($options['default'])) $default = $options['default'];
            if (isset($options['title'])) $title = $options['title'];

            if (value_is_true($options['dropdown'])) {
                if (isset($Shopp->Cart->data->Category['orderby'])) 
                    $default = $Shopp->Cart->data->Category['orderby'];
                $string .= $title;
                $string .= '<form action="'.esc_url($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']).'" method="get" id="shopp-'.$Shopp->Category->slug.'-orderby-menu">';
                if (!SHOPP_PERMALINKS) {
                    foreach ($_GET as $key => $value)
                        if ($key != 'shopp_orderby') $string .= '<input type="hidden" name="'.$key.'" value="'.$value.'" />';
                }
                $string .= '<select name="shopp_orderby" class="shopp-orderby-menu">';
                $string .= menuoptions($menuoptions,$default,true);
                $string .= '</select>';
                $string .= '</form>';
                $string .= '<script type="text/javascript">';
                $string .= "jQuery('#shopp-".$Shopp->Category->slug."-orderby-menu select.shopp-orderby-menu').change(function () { this.form.submit(); });";
                $string .= '</script>';
            } else {
                if (strpos($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'],"?") !== false) 
                    list($link,$query) = explode("\?",$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);
                $query = $_GET;
                unset($query['shopp_orderby']);
                $query = http_build_query($query);
                if (!empty($query)) $query .= '&';

                foreach($menuoptions as $value => $option) {
                    $label = $option;
                    $href = esc_url($link.'?'.$query.'shopp_orderby='.$value);
                    $string .= '<li><a href="'.$href.'">'.$label.'</a></li>';
                }

            }
            return $string;
            break;

It is not a good idea to edit the core code. And lucky for you it is not necessary. You can edit/create your own template file collection-search.php and style it any way you want.

There is more info on template files here.

You need to edit the template file of the search page and add to the search query parameters orderby title, as opposed to the default ordering which is by time of publication
