How can I relocate the filter options on my desktop collection pages?

Topic summary

A user wants to relocate filter and sorting options on their collection pages from the top of the page to the sidebar for better usability on desktop devices.

The mobile version already displays filters on the side and works well, but the desktop layout currently shows these options horizontally at the top of the screen.

Another user requested screenshots to better understand the desired layout change. The original poster provided images showing:

  • Current state: filters/sort options appearing at the top
  • Desired state: side menu placement similar to mobile view

The discussion remains open with no solution provided yet. The issue appears theme-related and may require customization to achieve the sidebar filter layout on desktop.

Is there a way to move where my ‘filter/sorting’ options appear on the desktop version of my collection pages?

They’re currently at the top but I’d like for them to be on the side of the collection page for ease of use.

The mobile version is perfect - its specifically while shopping on a desktop.

I greatly appreciate any help!
