Hi,
I am trying to improve the browsing experience for our users on our art auction platform. It would be great if I could have a collection which contained all the art sorted by vendor alphabetically. I have one sorting it by artwork title alphaetically, but another one sorted by vendor would be great.
I am not sure if there is any way to sort a new collection alphabetically by vendor? Any ideas?
Thank you!
Hi,
Can you share us your store url so I can take a peak?
Normally, Shopify only provides default sorting option. If you want users to sort or filter by vendor, you need to add few custom code into it. A temp fix is you can use url like
yourstoreurl/collections/vendors?q={Your Vendor Name}.
Hi!
My store URL is https://arthawk.co.
The ‘All Auctions’ collection (first tab under browse) is sorted by product
title. I am thinking of having two here:
(As well as the other collections in the navigation sorted by tags.)
Thank you and I look forward to your thoughts.
Yes. Taknify here. Happy to help tweak your store. Feel free to ask anything anything Shopify related.
Hello JB Martin,
So, without access to the store it would be hard to tell that code you need to add.
But here is a general idea: You need to add a custom code that loops through the vendor alphabetically in the backend or you add a filter where user can sort it alphabetically.
If you don’t know how to custom code, you can provide me access to your store so I can code it out.
If you don’t want to give access, an alternative way is you create a collection by vendors and have users redirect to it.
Example: (I just did this in 5 mins to show. But something similar like that.)

Hi Taknify, I have sent private message. Let’s talk about this, as I could do with some help regarding the navigation/sorting functionality on the store. Thank you so much!
I have the same problem sorting by best-selling in collection/vendors
