StoreHippo allows the admin to specify the position at which their products will be displayed in the respective category, collection, brand and search result. The sort order functionality simply allows the user to set the sequence of the product(s). You can manage the sorting of products in the individual category, collection or brand.
For example, in one category, you want the products to be displayed in newest to the oldest sequence whereas, in the other category, you want to set the sort order manually.
