    2. Hide: Out-of-stock products are not displayed to customers.
    3. Show at end: Out-of-stock products are moved to the end of the product listings, allowing in-stock items to be prioritized.

Usage examples #

1. Default setting: You might consider using the Default option if you want to maintain the standard product listing order without drawing attention to stock status. This is ideal for stores that frequently restock items and want to keep the browsing experience consistent.

2. Hide out-of-stock products: For stores that prefer to only showcase available products, the Hide option might be suitable. This can help reduce customer frustration by ensuring that only purchasable items are visible.

3. Show at end: If you want to inform customers about products that are temporarily unavailable but might be restocked soon, you might consider the Show at end option. This keeps the focus on available products while still allowing customers to see the full range of items.

These settings help manage customer expectations and improve the shopping experience by clearly communicating product availability.
