We cannot figure out how to change the setting of our new arrivals page from “Sort Alphabetically” as the standing preset, to ‘Sort by Date, New to Old’. Can someone help point me in the direction of how to change that? We use theme Showcase. Thanks!

Hi Owltreekids,

From Admin > Go to Products > Collections > Choose the Collection you want to edit (Ex: New Arrivals) > Scroll down to ‘Products’ > Select ‘Sort: Newest’
