Any time a customer sees a list of products, there is a default sorting rule applied that sorts the results. However, you can add sorting options for the customer, such as sorting by price, size, or brand, beyond the sorting rule applied when the search results are first shown. You can use the default storefront sorting options provided in the SiteGenesis application or create your own sorting rules and use them as storefront sorting options. There is only one list of storefront sorting rules for your entire storefront, so any sorting rules you select as sorting options must apply to all product categories. You can create up to 100 sorting options.
To see these options, perform a search in the SiteGenesis application or navigate to any page that shows products. At the top of the product grid, you see the Sort By list. This list shows the sorting rules selected as storefront sorting options.
Storefront options are implemented as a module in SiteGenesis.
The
util/module.isml template defines the
search/components/productsortingoptions.isml template as
a module. The
search/components/productsortingoptions.isml template
defines how storefront sorting options are retrieved from Business
Manager.
The rendering/categoryproducthits.isml
template implements the isproductsortingoptions model.
