Usage

Opening the “Product Sorting” tab

1. Go to Catalogues → Categories and open the desired category.

2. Select the Product Sorting tab.

The tab is available for page categories (regular shop category pages).

Sorting products

1. Wait until the product list has loaded.

2. Drag and drop rows to reorder. The Position column shows the new order.

3. When positions have changed, you will see: Sort positions have been changed. Save the category to apply the changes.

4. Click Save on the category — only then are positions stored.

Sorting is not saved immediately when you drop a row; it is saved together with the category.

Show variants

Show variants switch:

Setting	Behaviour
On	Each variant appears on its own row and can be sorted individually.
Off	One row per main product; sorting applies to the visible group.

The setting is stored in your browser (session-wide, not per category).

Greyed-out products (“Not in store”)

Products that would not currently appear in the category’s storefront listing remain visible and sortable in the grid. They are only highlighted:

• Row is greyed out

• Not in store badge with a short explanation in the tooltip

• Pencil icon opens the product detail page for editing

This lets you keep e.g. sold-out or temporarily inactive items at a fixed position until they are visible again.

When is a row greyed out?

Typical cases:

1. Product is inactive — not shown in the shop.

2. Clearance sale out of stock — product is marked as clearance sale, has no available stock, and Hide products after clearance is enabled for the relevant sales channel in shop settings.

Not greyed out (examples):

• Regular product with stock 0 without clearance sale

• Clearance sale out of stock but Hide products after clearance is disabled for the channel

Related shop setting (clearance sale)

Settings → Products — option Hide products after clearance (per sales channel).

The same setting affects grey rows in the tab. See the tooltip and legend in the tab for details.

With variants hidden, a row stays normal as long as at least one variant in the group would still be visible in the shop.

Dynamic product groups (product streams)

Categories whose products come from a dynamic product group are supported. All products currently returned by the group are shown; manual order applies to that category.

Storefront sorting

So visitors see your manual order:

1. Open Settings → Shop → Product sorting.

2. Assign Recommendation to the sales channel (or add Manual sorting to an existing sorting).

Recommendation is created when the plugin is installed (if it did not already exist).

3. Set the order under Product Sorting in the category and save the category.

Products without a saved position usually appear after manually sorted items.
