I want to sort sold out products to bottom
Topic summary
A merchant wants to move sold-out products to the bottom of product listings in the Minion theme.
Three solutions are provided:
- Manual sorting: Set collections to manual sort order in Shopify admin and manually reorder products (time-consuming)
- Theme customization: Modify the theme’s Liquid code to automatically sort products by availability in collection loops
- Automation app: Use apps like Mechanic to automatically move out-of-stock products to the end of collections
Technical implementation:
A code snippet is shared showing how to sort products using Liquid:
{% assign sorted_products = collection.products | sort: 'available' %}
{% for product in sorted_products %}
Links to three Mechanic automation tasks are provided for different sorting approaches (by inventory levels, product properties, and moving out-of-stock items).
The responder offers paid customization services for implementing this feature and requests additional context (store URL, theme name) if the merchant needs further assistance.
Hi @kareemkiks :waving
Merchants needing to sort sold out products to the bottom of collections either need to:
- if manual collections set the sort order to manual in the admin then hand sort the products
- customize the theme to change the collections sort order in liquid for the collections product loop; implemenation will vary greatly between themes
- Or for manual collections use an app , such as mechanic, to send sold out products to the end of a collections list.
Example liquid code for product loops in a collection
{% assign sorted_products = collection.products | sort: 'available' %}
..
...
{% for product in sorted_products %}
