General Settings
Does the app affect my store’s loading speed?
No, the app does not have any impact on store's loading speed. As the app reorders the products in a collection via admin, it does not have any impact on theme or loading speed.
Is there a limit to how many products or collections can be sorted?
Yes, there are limits for sorting products and collections based on the pricing plan you choose. You can access the pricing plans for the app on Shopify App Store.
How much time it takes for a collection to sort?
For the app to sort a collection, it depends on the number of products in a collection. A collection with 1000 products will take around 10 seconds to be sorted.
How do I activate/deactivate sorting for a specific collection?
Step 1: Open the Jedi Product & Collection Sort.
Step 2: Go to Sorting Collections and select the collection you want to sort.
Step 3: Click Set Sorting Active or Set Sorting Inactive.
Sorting for my collection gets inactive automatically. What could be the reason?
Whenever someone in the store changes the sort order for the collection via admin page of the collection, then the app automatically deactivates the sorting for that collection.
How to enable sorting for multiple collections at once?
Step 1: Open the Jedi Product & Collection Sort.
Step 2: Go to Sorting Collections and select all the collections you want to activate.
Step 3: Click Set Sorting Active.
OR
Step 1: Go to Sorting Collections and click on the top checkbox to select every collection on the page.
Step 2: Click Set Sorting Active.
Which modifications does Jedi - Product & Collection Sort make?
When a collection is enabled in the app, its sorting order is automatically switched to ‘manual’. After you run the sort, the app pulls in your store’s sales and product data to arrange items according to the sorting strategy you’ve set for that collection.
If you ever want to return to Shopify’s default sorting, simply disable the collection from the app’s main page. Then head to your Shopify admin and choose your preferred sort order as you normally would.
Please note: the app does not modify your theme, add code, or inject any JavaScript into your storefront.
I can't see the catalogue page (Collections/All page) in the app?
The catalogue page is a virtual page generated directly by Shopify. As a result, our app is unable to access or modify this specific page. The URL for this page generally appears as follows: https://shopify-store-name/collections/all
To make your catalogue page visible within our app, please refer to Shopify’s official guidance on how to customize or replace this page.
Does the app add/remove products from a collection?
No, the Jedi - Product & Collection Sort app does not add or remove products from collections. It only sorts the products already in a collection based on rules you set.
Sorting Strategy
What is a Sorting Strategy?
In the app, you can create your own sorting strategy by setting up custom sorting rules. These strategies can be effortlessly applied to any collection across your store that is enabled in the app, automatically sorting the collection based on the rules defined in the strategy.
What is Vendor Spread Randomization?
Vendor Spread Randomization is a feature that ensures products from different vendors are evenly distributed in a collection. This prevents one vendor’s products from dominating the top positions, giving all vendors fair visibility.
What is Product Type Spread Randomization?
Product Type Spread Randomization is a feature that distributes different product types evenly across a collection, ensuring similar items are not clustered together and the product layout appears balanced and visually organized.
What is "Variant availability ratio" ?
The variant availability ratio of a product is a metric that tells what percentage of a product's variants are currently in stock and available for purchase. E.g. if 6 out of 10 variants of a product are in stock, the variant availability ratio for the product would be (6/10) x100 = 60%.
What is "Weight" in AI sort (Multi Params) sort order?
Higher the weight for a property means that the property will have more weightage when calculating the rank for a product. So, you may want to put more weight to a property which you think has more significance compared to the other properties.
What is "Sorting by Product Sub-grouping"?
Sorting by product sub-grouping means your products are still arranged using the main sorting rule, but they’re also divided into small, balanced groups so the collection looks cleaner and easier to browse.
For example, if your sort order is “Inventory: High to Low,” all items will first be sorted by stock levels. When you turn on sub-grouping—like grouping by vendor—the system stops products from the same vendor from filling up the top of the list. Instead, it spreads them out more evenly, showing only a set number of products from each vendor (such as two per group) so the collection feels organized and not cluttered.
