Business Value
Gain full control of product sorting!
The way you sort your products directly affects your store's UX and conversion rate.
You have to make sure that customers can find the products they are looking for quickly and easily, or else they may leave and shop elsewhere. On top of that, the products you need sold either the most urgently or at the greatest quality should always be at the top.
Magento 2 Improved Sorting extension is a substantial overhaul to the way sorting products in Magento is done by default. The module lets you create your own sorting rules based on any individual product variable, combining several variables in a single rule, fine-tuning the way the module applies them, and more. With an extension this powerful, your store's merchandising potential will be second to none!
How It Works
Set up your ranking factors based on whichever product variable you require – from attributes to sales numbers. These factors convert each variable into a score between -100 and 100, which determines the product's position.
Once you have set up the ranking factors, you can create sorting criteria based on them. You can include as many ranking factors as you need in a single sorting criterion.
The module will display the sorting criteria you have created in the frontend, giving your customers an intuitive and personalized shopping experience.

Perfect for Merchandising
Highlight any product you need
The extension works great if you need to enhance product discoverability. Create sorting criteria that correspond best to the business needs of your store and highlight products that customers should see first when browsing the product catalog of your shop. For instance, you can place goods with surplus inventory higher on the list, or move under-sellers to the top.
Sort by the most relevant criteria
The Improved Sorting extension offers Magento 2 advanced sorting that lets you tailor the sorting options to the needs of your particular product catalog. Modify existing sorting criteria and add several new sorting options. This will make your store's navigation much more intuitive, drastically improving your visitors' experience.
Boost your funnel's efficiency
With this module, you can create custom product sorting by using any product attribute or their combination for creating the sorting criteria you need. Use several ranking factors for a single sorting criterion to ensure that visitors will see the most attractive products, like goods with the highest discounts, first. This will make visitors much more likely to convert to customers.
Powerful Ranking Factors
Ranking Factors are a unique sorting management concept developed by our team and implemented in this extension. The Improved Sorting extension lets you use any product attribute as a ranking factor for the sorting.
The ranking factor can be applied in two modes:
• as a parameter for sorting criteria;
• as a global parameter that will be applied before any other conditions for all sorting criteria.
You can count on the module to always fit your exact business needs!
Promote the latest and greatest
Override the default Magento 2 sorting algorithm which ranks products from newest to oldest. The Improved Sorting module lets you rank products depending on when you added or updated them. You can set the exact timeframe for the module to consider the product: new or recently updated.
Offer new products sorting in Magento to your customers. New and frequently updated goods will be shown in the top spot. This is an excellent way to help visitors discover new arrivals.
Highlight specific products
You can rank the products with particular attributes or attribute sets higher. Configure the attribute set as you need in the Magento admin panel.
This comes in handy when you need more specific sorting options, like boosting seasonal products or certain brands.
Rank less attractive propositions lower
Set up product sorting in your store so that customers first receive the products with complete product page. This factor will move products without images to the bottom.
It's invaluable for any store as visitors are much less likely to buy something if they don't know how it looks.
Leverage the social proof
This factor ranks products depending on their review score (Magento 2 sort by rating).
Products with higher ratings have higher conversion rates because they appear more trustworthy.
Sort by what's selling
The module lets you rank products depending on the number of purchases made during a specific time frame (Magento 2 sort by best seller).
This option will help you sell even more of your best-sellers or put a spotlight on underperforming products.
Sell efficiently
This factor ranks products by their profit margin.
It's great for maximizing your profits, especially when combined with other factors.
Highlight any product attribute
This is the most flexible factor. It lets you use Magento conditions to give a higher ranking to products with a particular attribute or an attribute combination.
Category, size, SKU, - the possibilities here are endless!
Demote the products you can't purchase
The module lets you rank the products either by their inventory status or by how many of them are left in stock.
The former option is vital for any store, as the visitors are more interested in the goods they can readily buy.
The latter comes in handy if you'd like to boost the sales of unpopular products or clear your inventory.
Improve product discoverability
The ranking score for this factor for any product is determined based on the number of its product page views. It's very helpful if you'd like to take advantage of social proof or highlight the products visitors tend to overlook.Highlight the most efficient products
This ranking factor prioritizes goods with the highest conversion rate. It comes in handy if you intend to maximize your income or give a nudge to the under-sellers.Provide excellent value to the customers
This factor ranks products according to the difference between the regular price and the special price. It'll help you bring the most valuable promotions to the top and get the most out of your sales.Define your own formulas to sort products
The Formula Ranking Factory enables you to define your own calculations to retrieve factor values for each product. The syntax is very similar to that of Excel formulas, making it easy to use and customize.Flexible Sorting Criteria
The module's sorting criteria are incredibly flexible and open-ended. You can sort products by any ranking factor as well as product position in the category, its name, and price.
On top of that, you can use product attributes as a ranking criterion or combine several attribute conditions as a single ranking factor and tweak the way the module calculates the sorting score for this combination.
Use the Preview option to check how the product catalog at your store is being sorted with this new ranking factor.
Tailor the sorting to your exact goals
The module lets you combine any number of ranking factors in a single sorting criterion.
For complex sorting criterion, the module first sorts products by the main ranking factor, then it applies the next one, and so on.
Ranking factors can have complex conditions, themselves. You can choose an ascending or descending sorting option for each ranking factor.
For example, you can create a rule that prioritizes the cheapest and the latest-added bestsellers with the highest rating.
Or give customers the ability to sort products by featured sorting criteria, which uses such ranking factors as adding date, bestseller, or rating.
Customize the way the module applies the rules
Improved Sorting extension can calculate the sorting score in two different ways:
- You can add the factors as separate conditions. That way, the module will apply each of them in sequence. For example, it will start by sorting the products by A, then it will sort the resulting sequence by B, and so on.
- You can also add the factors as sub-conditions. That way, the module will summarize each factor's score and apply the sum. For example, it will sort the products by (A + B + … + N).
You can combine both options in a single criterion for maximum flexibility, too.
Let visitors see the most lucractive option first
The very first sorting option that visitors can see should display the most attractive propositions at the top.
The module allows you to change the default sorting criterion for product categories and search results pages, maximizing the efficiency of your funnel.
