ABOUT THE MAGENTO 2 CATEGORY SORT BY EXTENSION.
Category Sorting is a key component in the ability to find you're looking for. If sort types are hard to use, or missing, it can result in a customer's inability to find products. This often leads to them abandoning the website - causing you to lose a potential sale. We expanded the default Magento sorting capability by simplifying the sorting process. We also added many new, most frequently used, sort types. These include “price low to high” and “price high to low” functionality. Price sorting is one of the most popular types used by consumers, along with Best Seller and Most Reviewed. After using filters to narrow down a list of products, the customer will often sort them to find the best value. For this reason it is important to have options such as Best Seller, Highest Rated, and Most Reviewed. These will allow the user to make a more educated decision when measuring the product value or quality.
Advanced Category Sorting is a tool to help customers find products easier and faster. It achieves this by extending the Magento product sorting capabilities from the category page.
Our Magento 2 sorting extension enhances the initial functionality of the platform to create a tailored experience for your customer. We provide the most needed ones such as; Newest Arrivals, Best Selling, Top Rated, and Most Reviewed Products. We also provide intuitive order sorting. This includes the ability to sort alphabetically (A to Z or Z to A), as well as by product price (Low to High or High to Low).
From admin you can easily edit the order of the sorting options to best suit the needs of your customer. Don’t rely on the default Magento product sort order - your customers deserve better.
