Sort

The sort dropdown is rendered in the listing block toolbar. Options:

• Featured (manual)
• Best selling
• Newest
• Price: low to high
• Price: high to low

These are Shopify-defined sort keys and can't be customised.

Default sort order

Block setting → Default sort order. When the customer arrives at a collection URL without ?sort_by=, the page redirects to add ?sort_by={default} so the products appear sorted as you intended.

The redirect happens via a tiny inline script:

• Production: redirects only when sort_by is missing
• Theme editor: redirects when sort_by doesn't match the configured default (so changes take effect immediately on save)

Persistent sort

After a customer picks a sort, that selection lives in the URL — sharing the URL preserves the sort. Returning to the bare collection URL re-applies the default.

Tips

• Set default to Best selling for catalogs (shows what's popular first).
• Set to Newest for editorial / drop-driven brands.
• "Featured" preserves the manual order from Shopify admin — use this only if you carefully curate collection ordering.
