Use
The order you specify is decisive when a product has been assigned more than one category for which an alternative ID type has been defined.
The main ID type is determined by the order of the ID types and is the ID type assigned the lowest value in this field.
Procedure
Example
The product "Illustrated Book" is assigned two different categories:
- "Books" with the ID type "ISBN"
- "Works of Art" with the ID type "Author"
If the ID type "ISBN" is assigned a lower value in this field than the ID type "Works of Art", the ID type that applies to the product "Illustrated Book" is "ISBN".
