How to sort iPhone models correctly in Dawn filter drop down?

Technical Q&A
1

Hi there, currently I think the filter option in Dawn orders the list alphabetically using a lexicographic sort. I do like this and do need it for my filters, however, when it comes to phone models, it messes up the list. I would like “iPhone 7” to be above “iPhone 11” etc in the list but currently, it sorts it the other way around. The rest of the models are fine in sorting (iPhone 11, 12,13) Is there any way to make this happen? I’ve attached a screenshot of the list currently, and how I would like to display it.

Hi @animeroom ,

The filter is currently sorting alphabetically, so 1 will be displayed before 7 => iPhone 11 will be displayed before iPhone 7.

If you want to rearrange it, you can just use app for this. Refer https://apps.shopify.com/product-filter-search or https://apps.shopify.com/search?q=Collection%20Filter

Hope it helps!

Use Metafields instead. You can set the order of the options in the Metafield, then populate the Metafield values and add the Metafield to the filter options.
