The website needs to display its product in the right manner. Your customers should be able to conveniently find the product they are looking for. Also, WowStore’s product sorting feature focuses on certain products for them to get exposure. The new and improved product sorting feature lets you easily sort, select, and arrange your products!
Note: You will find the Product Query Builder settings under the “Product Sort”. This lets you show specific products to specific users. You can choose from a variety of product sorting options to offer a tailored experience to users.
Basic Product Sorting
The basic product sorting functionality allows us to display the products in a generalized manner. We can choose specific products or display our user’s most recently viewed products.
Specific Product Sorting
If we want to display only a selected few products; select the “Choose Specific Products” option.
When you select this option, a new field is created below. You can add as many products as you like to display.

Since the values can be quantified, we can arrange them in either ascending or descending order. For example, If we select date as the criteria to reorder our products. Descending order will show the latest products in the beginning but if we select ascending, the oldest products will be displayed ahead.
