Advanced product sorting
Shoppers sort by price, newness and stock, while your team sets the order by drag and drop and rules — the storefront updates instantly.
Why it matters
Product order is one of the most powerful — and most underrated — sales tools in your catalog. Almost every visitor sees the first six to eight items in a category; few scroll much further. If the top rows are filled with sold-out sizes, last year's styles or random upload order, you're losing sales for no reason.
In Fashion CMS, sorting works from both sides. Shoppers choose the order that suits them on the storefront. Your team decides what shoppers see first by default: manually with drag and drop, or with rules that run on their own.
How it drives sales
- The top of the catalog sells. Put what matters right now at the top: a new capsule, the hero piece from your ad campaign, an item with deep stock.
- No dead first screens. The "in stock first" rule automatically moves sold-out styles down, so shoppers don't hit "not in your size" in the very first row.
- New arrivals get noticed. The "new arrivals on top" rule lifts fresh drops without reshuffling by hand every week.
- Shoppers stay in control. Budget-minded shoppers sort by price, trend hunters by newness. Together with filters, it's a fast path to the right piece.
- Saves your team time. Set up the rules once and the order maintains itself — even when your range changes daily.
How it works
- On the storefront, shoppers choose a sort: popularity, newness, price low to high or high to low, name or availability. The grid rearranges without reloading.
- In the CMS, your team opens a category or collection and sees products in the exact order they appear on the site.
- Drag a product to the right spot — everything else shifts automatically.
- Pin a key product and it stays put, no matter what happens to the rest.
- Turn on sorting rules with toggles: "in stock first," "new arrivals on top" and more. Pinned products always rank above the rules.
- Every change goes live on the storefront instantly — on desktop and mobile.
Levels of control
| Level | What it does | When it helps |
|---|---|---|
| Shopper sorting | Price, newness, stock, popularity, name | Always available on the storefront |
| Rules | Automatic order based on conditions | Everyday catalog upkeep |
| Manual order | Drag-and-drop products | Capsules, campaigns, merchandising |
| Pinning | Fixed positions at the top | Season's hero pieces and ad products |
For your team
Manual order and rules are set separately for every category and collection — you can push one thing in "Dresses" and something else in a collection like "White blouses." Automatic collections such as "New in" and "SALE" from automatic collections support rules and pinning too.
Fashion notes
In fashion, product order is merchandising, just like in a boutique: pieces that look good together sit side by side, and the season's hero look goes on top. Drag-and-drop sorting lets you build the catalog as a visual story, while rules make sure that story doesn't fall apart as sizes sell out.
