Arrangement of products within the Product list page was an issue. Buyers always faced issue with the discoverability of products and as a store owner this was a bottleneck. To tackle this problem, store owners can now add the sort and filter option in the product list page.

Mobile Product List Page (PLP)
Mobile shoppers need quick ways to narrow large catalogs on small screens. The PLP now includes touch-optimized Sort and Filter controls, a dynamic product count, and builder-side styling so you can match your brand.
Mobile Sort (Bottom Sheet)
A dedicated Sort button appears in the PLP top bar on mobile. Tapping opens a bottom-sheet modal with common sort choices.
Available Options
- Date (Old → New, New → Old)
- Alphabetical (A–Z, Z–A)
- Price (Low → High, High → Low)
Tips
- Dismiss the sort sheet by tapping outside or swiping down.
- Set a Default Sorting option in the widget to guide first-load ordering.

Mobile Filters (Full-Screen Modal)
Filtering helps shoppers see only relevant items. On mobile, Filters open in a **full-screen** modal with a sticky footer for easy actions.
Filter Types
- Availability: In stock / Out of Stock

- Price Range: From and To numeric inputs

Behavior
- Apply instantly updates results; Clear Filters resets selections.
- The Filters button shows a badge count for active filters.

Availability defaults (both selected) and price validation behavior follow store settings. If you’ve customized availability rules, only eligible products will surface.
Product Count & Result Updates
A running product count appears at the top of the PLP and updates dynamically as filters are applied or cleared, giving shoppers context while browsing.

- Sort and filter pill color
- Reset button color|
3. Click on save/Publish to view your changes in your site!
Some Key Aspects:
