About the Extension

Sort Products – Manual Order via Drag & Drop

With the Sort Products plugin, you decide the order in which your products appear in the storefront – via drag & drop, directly in the Shopware backend. No workarounds with sorting rules, no compromises: drag a product to the desired position and the change is immediately visible in your shop.

Whether you want to push new arrivals to the top, put bestsellers first, or prominently place seasonal sale items – you have full control over your listings, per category and per sales channel.

Full Control Over Every Category

Open any category in the backend and switch to the "Product Order" tab. There you see all products of the category in a clear list. Change the order, flip the toggle – done. The sorting is active immediately, without cache issues or delays.

Positions can be set via drag & drop or by directly entering a position number. When products are added or removed, a single click on the refresh button updates the list automatically.

Separate Order per Sales Channel

Running multiple shops or sales channels? No problem. The manual sorting applies separately to each sales channel – the same product can appear first in shop A and fifth in shop B.

Safely Disable – Positions Are Kept

If you turn off the manual sorting for a category, the storefront falls back to the default sorting. Your manually defined positions remain saved and can be reactivated at any time by switching it back on – without having to re-sort everything.

Feed Referrer Highlighting

With the optional in-app purchase EmzCustomSortingHighlight, the plugin gains a powerful feature for performance marketing: when a customer visits your shop via a product feed such as Google Shopping, the advertised product is automatically pinned to position 1 of the listing and visually highlighted – fully GDPR-compliant, as the cookie is only set after the visitor's consent.

Installation

Open the Shopware backend and navigate to Settings → System → Plugins
Upload, install and activate the plugin
Clear the cache and reload the administration

General Settings

Enable the plugin globally

Navigate to Settings → System → Plugins → Sort Products → Configure.

The Active toggle is the master switch of the plugin. When disabled, manual sorting is unavailable in all sales channels and the sorting option is hidden in the storefront. The setting can be configured separately per sales channel.

Setting Up Manual Sorting

Step 1 – Open a category

Navigate to Catalogues → Categories and open the desired category. Switch to the "Product Order" tab.

The tab is only visible if the logged-in user has the role emz_category_custom_position.viewer assigned.

Step 2 – Select a sales channel

Choose the desired sales channel from the dropdown. Positions are managed separately per category and sales channel – different sales channels can have different product orders.

Step 3 – Activate sorting

Enable the toggle at the top of the tab. The plugin will automatically assign starting positions to all products in the category. The toggle saves immediately – no separate save button is required.

The role emz_category_custom_position.creator is required to activate/deactivate and to use the refresh function.

Step 4 – Define the order

Two methods are available:

Drag & Drop: drag rows to the desired position with your mouse. Multi-selection is supported.
Edit position number: click the number in the "Position" column and change it directly. The category is automatically renumbered so no two products share a position.

The storefront reflects the new order immediately – the HTTP cache is automatically invalidated after every change.

Step 5 – Refresh products

If products have been added to or removed from the category, click the Refresh button:

New products are appended at the end of the list
Products no longer assigned to the category are removed
Products that are only hidden in the storefront (e.g. out of stock) keep their position

Disabling Sorting

Disable the toggle to turn off manual sorting for this category and sales channel. The storefront will then revert to the default sorting. The saved positions are retained and can be reactivated at any time by switching the toggle back on.

ACL Roles

The following permissions can be assigned under Settings → System → Users & Permissions → Roles:

emz_category_custom_position.viewer – "Product Order" tab visible, positions readable
emz_category_custom_position.creator – toggle and refresh button available

Feed Referrer Highlighting

This feature requires the in-app purchase EmzCustomSortingHighlight and is available from Shopware 6.7.3 onwards.

How it works

When a customer visits the shop via a product feed (e.g. Google Shopping), the advertised product is automatically pinned to position 1 of the listing and visually highlighted. The cookie is only set after the visitor's consent (consent-first).

Configuration

Navigate to Settings → System → Plugins → Sort Products → Configure and select the desired sales channel:

Feed rules: define the URL parameters used to detect a feed visit (e.g. utm_source=google_shopping)
Cookie lifetime: how long the product remains pinned at position 1 (in seconds)
Bypass switch: allows testing the feature without an active feed parameter

Installation Service
