I’m using Shoppica 1.5 with OpenCart 1.5.2. This is a new site.
THE PROBLEM:
I offer four options for shipping. The shipping estimate comes up in this order:
Priority Mail – $5.20
Priority Mail Medium Flat Rate Box – $11.35
First-Class Mail Parcel – $3.31
Parcel Post – $5.20
So suppose I choose First Class. I then get the message:
Success! Your shipping estimate has been applied.
This implies that whatever estimate I choose will stick. But as I continue to check out, when I get to the menu to choose shipping, it defaults back to this order and Priority Mail at $5.20 is chosen. Some customers might not pay attention to this, thinking they already chose their shipping option.
THE SOLUTION
First, I would like to order it by price. Even ordering it alphabetically would put it in a better order. How can I make First Class come first, then Parcel Post, then Priority, then Flat Rate.
Secondly, is there any way to make the shipping estimate choice carry over to the shipping for those who continue to check out? This isn’t that important, but I certainly don’t want Priority to get automatically selected because it’s first in the list.

Hi,
All the changes you describe here would be valuable for everybody indeed.
Unfortunately, the only thing you could do from the list of changes is to sort the shipping options – there is a sort order for every shipping method in the Admin -> Extensions -> Shipping page
All other request would require core files hacking and are beyond the scope of these support forums.
Best,
ThemeBurn team

I don’t see any way to sort the shipping options within one shipping method. Only the ability to sort shipping methods. It’s rather odd because under USPS > Domestic Services, First-Class Parcel is first in the list, but it comes up third on the screen.
Anyway, thanks for your support. I really appreciate that you don’t leave questions hanging around unanswered.

We’re sorry, we indeed meant shipping methods order in our post.

I found a partial fix in the OpenCart Forum.
If you want the shipping estimate that is selected to “stick” during checkout, you can find the answer here:
