Product sorting by features

The add-on lets customers sort products in category lists by a selected feature or by product code. It makes product browsing more convenient and helps find the right item faster.

What it adds

  • sorting by product code in both directions;
  • sorting by any enabled feature;
  • pre-sorting by stock availability;
  • numeric sorting for sizes, weight, and other numeric values;
  • language variables for renaming sorting options.

How it works

In the feature settings, enable MS: Use for sorting. After that, the feature appears in the storefront sorting list in categories where the feature is used. For numeric values, enable MS: Sort as numbers so values are ordered numerically instead of as strings.

You can also enable pre-sorting by stock availability in the add-on settings. In-stock products will then appear first for any selected sorting.

Where to configure it

  • Add-ons → Manage add-ons → Product sorting by features — the stock availability setting.
  • Catalog → Product features — enable sorting for a specific feature.
  • Administration → Languages → Translations — sorting option labels.
