Magento: New products on category page is not sorting by position

Question

I am working on magento category page. I just added a product in a category and that product showing in frontend fine. but not getting sort by position, all type of sorting is fine, but when i sort according to position. New product show always on first position. and old products comes according to position fine. Also descending order is not working in position. I have deleted cache, re-indexed also. Can anyone suggest what's the problem.

Answer 1

Did you set product position value in Catalog -> Manage Categories -> Category Products tab? In position column you should set position for each product.
