Setting up sections

You can use sections to pull some products to the top of a collection, each with its own sort order. Everything else sorts the products that are left over.

Sections are matched from top to bottom. A product goes into the first section that matches it.

Sections are in the Sorting sections section of a strategy. To open a strategy, go to Sorting and click the strategy. Your changes apply the next time the collections are sorted.

Tip

Put your most specific section first. A broad section takes every product that it matches, so the sections under it get only what is left.
