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

After you change the item sort order to "Custom", a hand will appear over the row in the Currently Assigned Items.  Click on the row, hold the mouse button down, and drag the row up or down to reorder the way the items are displayed.
