Showcase Theme - How to edit "Sort by" options

Store Design
1

Hello,

I’m using the Showcase theme (latest version) and I’m trying to edit what options are shown in the Sort By filtering. Currently the options that show are:

Sort by

  • Best selling

  • Alphabetically, A-Z

  • Alphabetically, Z-A

  • Price, low to high

  • Price, high to low

  • Date, old to new

  • Date, new to old

However I would like to change them to:

  • Price, low to high
  • Price, high to low
  • New

How can i change this in this theme?

Looking at the theme code, I can see that in main-collection.liquid, there is this line:

assign current_sort_by = collection.sort_by | default: collection.default_sort_by

I assume I would need to replace default: collection.default_sort_by to something specific?

Thanks so much for your help!

Looks like a solution/workaround to sorting by (created!) Take a look at this link:

Hi @Jenny-Arena

Thanks for this but it doesn’t seem to match up for the Showcase theme.

I don’t have a collection-template.liquid file but it looks like i would need to edit the main-collection.liquid file.

Within this file the only mention of “sort” is in these lines:

{%- liquid
  if collection.url.size == 0
    assign results_url = routes.all_products_collection_url
  else
    assign results_url = collection.url
  endif

  if results_url contains "?"
    assign results_url = results_url | split: "?" | first
  endif

  assign current_sort_by = collection.sort_by | default: collection.default_sort_by
-%}

Therefore im not sure which line i need to edit to get it to look like:

{% for option in collection.sort_options %}
       **{% unless option.value contains 'title-ascending' or option.value contains** '**title-descending**' **%}**
              <option value="{{ option.value }}"{% if sort_by == option.value %} selected="selected"{% endif %}>{{ option.name }}</option>
       **{% endunless %}**
{% endfor %}

do you have any ideas for this?

Thanks
