You can manually affect the ordering of products, by setting the `priority` field on the product record - higher priorites (i.e. larger numbers) will appear before lower. ### Initial Sort of Products By This setting will override the default sorting for a category. It can be secified at Website level, in which case it affects the whole site, and/or be overriden on a Product Category basis. To set up initial sorting, add sort fields to the list and decide whether sorting should be ascending or descending. Note that the order of the sort fields is important, sort will first be done by the top field, and the second field will only apply when two or more products have an equal value for the first field, and so on. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.pakk.io/websites/filtering-and-sorting/sorting.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
