Product sort order
You can determine the order of your products that are displayed in your store. That way items will be presented in a specific order you need. This can help improve the visibility of certain products and have a major impact on your click-through and conversion rates. In addition, your clients can still change the sort order to their preferred view.
Changing default product sort order storewide
To modify the default order settings:
- From your Ecwid admin, go to Settings → General → Cart & Checkout.
- In the Catalog Settings section, locate the Default Products Sort Order settings.
- Change it to your preferred sort order:
- Save changes.
You can select from a few sorting options:
- Manual, based on your own preferences
- Newest product, based on the date that the product was created
- Highest or lowest product price
- Product title, in alphabetical order or reverse alphabetical order
Now the chosen product sort order is applied storewide. It's important to note that changing the default sort order DO affect all categories.
Reorder products within a specific category
When you add products to your store, they appear in the sort order that you've selected. By default, products are sorted based on the date that the product was created (new products appear on top). If you want to manually sort each and every product, you may do so by dragging and dropping products within a list. That way items in your store will be presented in the specific order you chose for them.
To reorder products in a category:
- From your Ecwid admin, go to Settings → General → Cart & Checkout.
- In the Catalog Settings section, locate the Default Products Sort Order dropdown.
- Choose the “Defined by store owner” setting.
- Then go to Catalog → Categories.
- Click the desired category.
- Go to the Category products tab.
- Drag and drop the products to sort them.
- From your Ecwid iOS app, go to Products.
- Tap Categories.
- Tap the category where you want to reorder products.
- Tap Edit in the right upper corner.
- Hold the three lines next to a product and then drag & drop it to a desired place in the list of products within a category.
