Attribute Sorting – Configurable Products Dropdowns

I have configurable products with 2 attribute dropdowns Colors and Sizes.

Colors are alphabetized….That’s fine.

Here is an example of options for Sizes attribute dropdown in product #101 (as it’s sorted in the dropdown)
10"
12"
5"
6"

Here is an example of options for Sizes attribute dropdown in product #201 (as it’s sorted in the dropdown)
14′ X 12′
14′ X 10′
8′ X 8′
9′ X 9′

Two thing to remember.

+ The sorting is string sorting.
It thinks 14 is smaller than 8, because 14 starts with the "character" 1.

+ The Size attributes could be different in different products.

How do I sort it the way I want it?

Can I do it in the attribute section?
Is this custom coding?

For attribute sorting, please go to your admin/Catalog/Attributes/Manage Attributes/click on your attribute which you want to sort its options. Click on tab "Manage Label / Options" insert position for each option.

I think you should use simple product with custom option to replace Size atribute. To create simple product with custom option, you can refer to this link:
