Sort settings

Overview #

The Sort settings group is a core part of the theme settings, designed to control the app-wide look and feel of the shop by determining how products are sorted and displayed. These settings are applied globally across the store but can be overridden at the section or block level for more specific customization.

Key components and functionality #

Sort by

The Sort by setting allows you to define the criteria for sorting products in your store. This enhances the browsing experience by letting customers view products based on specific attributes.

• Options:
  • Title: Sorts products alphabetically by their title.
  • Date published: Sorts products by the date they were published, with the most recently published items appearing first.

Sort order

The Sort order setting determines the sequence in which products are displayed once the sorting criteria have been selected. This allows for strategic presentation of products to align with merchandising goals.

• Options:
  • Ascending: Products are displayed from A to Z or from the oldest to the newest, depending on the selected sort by criteria.
  • Descending: Products are displayed from Z to A or from the newest to the oldest.

Usage examples #

1. Alphabetical Sorting:

   • You might consider setting the Sort by option to Title and the Sort order to Ascending to list products alphabetically from A to Z.

2. Highlight New Arrivals:

   • You might consider setting the Sort by option to Date published and the Sort order to Descending to ensure that the newest products appear at the top of the list.

These settings provide flexibility in how products are presented, allowing store owners to tailor the shopping experience to their specific needs and marketing strategies.
