Sorting Options for Product Collections

Last updated on 04 Jan, 2026

Organizing your product collections effectively improves the shopping experience and helps meet business goals—whether that’s boosting sales, clearing inventory, or promoting new arrivals. Our app provides three powerful sorting methods: Drag and Drop, Custom Sorting, and Template-Based Sorting.

Drag and Drop Collections

This method gives you quick access to built-in sorting options that apply a predefined order to your collection without manually moving products one by one.

How to Use

  1. Go to the Dashboard.

  2. Choose or create a collection using the Drag and Drop method.

  3. Click the "Select sorting option" dropdown.

  4. Choose one of the built-in options:

  • Alphabetically (A–Z)

  • Alphabetically (Z–A)

  • Price: Low to High

  • Price: High to Low

  • Date Added: Old to New

  • Date Added: New to Old

The products will automatically reorder based on your selection.

 

Custom Collections (With or Without Segments)

Use Custom Sorting if you want full control over product arrangement using multiple product attributes and layered rules. Works whether you’re using segments or not.

How to Use

  1. Go to the Dashboard.

  2. Create or open a collection using the Custom method.

  3. Under the Sorting section, set the attributes and parameters.

  4. Choose an attribute such as:

  • Tags, SKU, Product Type, Title

  • Inventory, Price, Cost, Margin

  • Date Added, Date Published

  • Sales (Qty), Sales (Profit), Average Daily Sales

  • Drop-off Rate

Add multiple rules if needed and set priority order by dragging them into position.

 

Template-Based Sorting

Templates are pre-set strategies designed to sort your products automatically based on common goals like boosting sales or promoting new arrivals.

How to Use

  1. Go to the Dashboard.

  2. Select or create a collection using the Template method.

  3. Choose a template from the available list and click “Continue”.

  • Reduce Overstock

  • Boost New Products

  • Boost Slow-Moving Products

  • Boost Sales Boost Profit

  • Boost ROI

  • Boost Products Based on Tags

The app will sort the products automatically based on the template’s built-in logic.

 

Templates are ideal when you want fast, strategy-aligned sorting without configuring individual rules.
