What it is
The Products Ordering module gives merchants complete control over the display position of products within each category in PrestaShop.
The order can be set manually through an intuitive back-office UI or automatically via cron-based synchronisation rules.
Each category keeps its own product order, independent of every other category.
Why product order matters for sales
The order in which products appear in a category affects sales, because a product at the top of a listing is more likely to be seen. If your best-sellers, new arrivals or high-margin items appear in a random or unfavourable position, you lose opportunities. The Products Ordering module lets you place every product exactly where you want it.
Key features
- Manual ordering per category: manage the position of each product from the admin panel by selecting a category and defining the display order
- Admin UI for position management: an intuitive interface for quickly adjusting product positions, with no technical knowledge needed
- Automatic cron-based synchronisation: define sorting rules (for example by sales volume, stock level or date added) that are applied periodically via a cron job
- Independent ordering per category: each category has its own product order
Use cases
- Promoting new arrivals: pin new products to the top of each category for immediate visibility
- Showcasing best sellers: move your most popular products to the front
- Clearing excess stock: bring overstock or clearance items to the top temporarily
- Seasonal campaigns: quickly reorganise category listings for holiday, seasonal or promotional campaigns
Benefits for the merchant
Controlling the order of your product listings turns your store's front-end into a merchandising tool. Instead of relying on default sorting algorithms, you decide what customers see first. With both manual and automated options, the module adapts to any workflow.
Technical details
