What’s New?
We’re excited to introduce Manual Product Sorting, a new capability that gives store owners granular control over the order in which products appear on their store's Product List Page. This enhancement improves visual merchandising by allowing high-priority products to be featured more prominently.
Key Highlights:
- Display Priority Column
- A new column labeled “Display Priority” has been added to the Product List page.
- Store owners can assign whole number values to each product to define its display priority.
- Lower numbers indicate higher priority (i.e., the product appears earlier in the list).
- Alphabetical Tie-Breaker
- Products with the same priority value are sorted alphabetically (A-Z) as a secondary sort criterion.
- Featured Sorting Option
- A new “Featured” sorting option is now available in the builder.
- This option reflects the order based on assigned display priorities.
- For new store creations, “Featured” is set as the default sorting method.
- Store owners can modify this default from the builder if needed.
- Validation & Input Handling
- Only whole numbers are accepted in the Display Priority field.
- Invalid entries (such as letters or decimal values) trigger error messages prompting correction.
- User Interface & Experience
- Priority values can be manually saved via a “Save” button which appears if any changes are made.
- Product order updates reflect immediately on the Product List Page.
How to Use It
- Navigate to Sites > Stores > Select Store > Products.
- Use the new Display Prioritycolumn to assign priority values (whole numbers only) to each product.
- To apply sorting:
- Open the Product List page in the builder.
- Select the Product Listelement.
- In the Advanced Settings, choose Featured from the sort dropdown.
- Click Save to publish the updated sorting order.
Important Notes & Edge Cases:
- Products with lower Display Priority numbers appear first.
- If multiple products have the same priority, they are sorted alphabetically (A-Z).
- The "Featured" sorting option reflects this logic and is the default for new stores.
- Existingstores retain their current sort settings; this updatedoes not overridethem.
- Only whole number inputsare allowed; invalid entries will show an error.
- Out-of-stock productsalways appear at the end of the list, regardless of priority.
