from the construct demo:

part of products:
sku       price wholesale  description
os28057c  13.99 11.00      10 penny nails
os28057a  14.99 12.00      16 penny nails

part of pricing:
sku       price_group  q2  q5  q10  q25  q100
os28057c  1                10  9
os28057a  1                11  10

user jdoe is a Dealer and so qty pricing is applied.

he buys one of os28057c and pays 11.00

he buys three of os28057c and pays 3x11.00

he buys three of os28057c and two of os28057a and pays 3x10.00 + 2x11.00
because the sum total qty on order in the price group (1) is 5.

I don't think the order of the columns is important. Chained pricing works
its magic using fields with 'q' and then the appropriate qty number for the
break, not any sort of column order. The way the construct demo is set up,
the q2 field is not used.

Yes. That's where catalog specific directives live.

yes, thats right.
