What are the Product Sorting Options in Shopify?

There are numerous product sorting options when it comes to Shopify. These include:

Alphabetically: This lists products from A to Z or Z to A based on their title. For those who aren’t dropshipping with apps like Oberlo, this can be a very easy method. But if you use Oberlo, you might need to ensure that all product titles are edited for ease of reading and better organization.

Best Selling: You can arrange items based on whether they’re a best-selling item. This will use the all-time number of sales. This is great for creating FOMO and urgency. However, it does mean that some lower purchased items might become less valuable to your store.

Price: Typical option, you can sort by lowest first or highest first. Many customers like this option as they normally have a budget, and they want to see products they can’t purchase first.

Date: This takes into consideration when the product was added to your store. Therefore, the newest or oldest products can be shown first on your store.
