Topic summary

  • Promer’s suggestions:
    • Edit Liquid files (snippets/product-grid.liquid or collection-sorting.liquid) to remove or comment out the sorting option
    • Alternative CSS solution: Hide the option using option[value="best-selling"] { display: none; }

Outcome:
Guleria’s solution successfully resolved the issue. The user now requests additional help to hide another sort option called “Características” using the same method. The discussion remains open as the user awaits guidance on this follow-up request.

Thank you. However, none of those options worked. I found in snippets
both collection-product-grid and main-collection-product-grid and couldn’t

Thank you for your help!
