Changing the sort order of products

Overview

This document will detail how to change the sort order of products in a specific page.

 

Sort order of products in a page vs. ordering of the product pages

Please note that this is different than the drag-n-drop re-ordering of product group pages, which is for reordering the layout of the pages in your storefront, as opposed to the ordering of items within a specific page. 

Steps

Here are the steps for changing the sort order of products in a product page of your store:


  1. From the StoreFronts Menu, click on "Pages":


  2. Next, edit a page that you wish to change the order order of the products:


  3. After selecting the items tab, select from the drop-down list for "Sort Order""

Custom Sort Ordering
