How to move out-of-stock products to the end of collection without using an app

Hi everyone,

I want to display out-of-stock products at the end of my collection page.

Currently, we are using an app/plugin to push sold-out items to the bottom, but I would like to achieve this without any app, using Shopify’s default features or theme customization.

My requirement:

  • In-stock products should appear first

  • Sold-out products should automatically move to the bottom

  • This should work dynamically when stock changes

My store details:

  • Collection link: V Neck Kurti

  • Theme name: Minimalista

  • Inventory tracking is enabled

I checked collection sorting options but didn’t find a way to sort based on stock status. Is there any Liquid code, setting, or workaround to do this natively?

Thanks in advance!

No.
This cannot be done in liquid and needs to be done in back-end and only for “manual” sort option by re-sorting products in collection.
When changing sort order in front-end sold products will be re-positioned according to the new sort order.

Potentially, it should be possible to achieve with free Shopify app Flow, but there is a bunch of paid apps to do that, some may be not expensive.

Hi @Aarni

Yes, this is possible, but it requires custom code.
By modifying the collection template (Liquid), we can:

Display in-stock products first
Move out-of-stock products to the bottom
Have it update automatically when inventory changes

Hi @Aarni ,

Agree with @devcoders , it can be done but it does require modifying your collection template.
