A user is trying to configure the “Featured” sort option in the Dawn theme’s product filtering. They have created a manual collection of featured products but find that selecting “Featured” in the sort dropdown displays all products alphabetically instead of their curated selection.
The issue stems from a misunderstanding of how the “Featured” sort works:

The discussion appears resolved with a clear explanation of the feature’s functionality.
Hello, we are using the Dawn theme. We’d like to set the featured products in the sort function on our product page. Where can we do this?
I have a manual collection of featured products, but it is not being pulled in by this filtering option. Instead, it’s just showing all products listed alphabetical
I see here in the settings that the collections sorting has Manual listed as Featured. Where do we get to this “manual” sorting?
Thanks in advance.
Hi @juliahlbsbind ,
The sort by featured option shows the products in your collection based on their most recent manual sort.
To set that order, you can go into your collection, select sort: manually, choose the order, and then switch them back to whatever default order you’d like (or leave it on manual).
I hope that helps!
