What does Product sorting mean?

Product sorting is an e-shop feature that determines the order in which goods are displayed in a category, search results or other product listing. Customers can sort products by price, popularity, rating, newest or name. At the same time, an e-shop can use its own default order based on sales, stock availability, margin or business priorities. Unlike filtering, sorting does not remove products from the listing; it only changes their order. Well-configured sorting helps customers find relevant goods faster and can also affect the visibility of individual products and overall sales.
