Your category pages are some of the most important shelves in your online store. Magic Sorter helps make sure the products you want shoppers to see are exactly where they should be.

Magic Sorter gives you complete control over the order products appear in your BigCommerce categories, with manual drag-and-drop merchandising, automatic sorting rules, scheduled layouts, backups, and smart out-of-stock handling.

Whether you want to feature best sellers, promote new arrivals, push high-inventory products toward the top, create a seasonal assortment, or simply keep unavailable merchandise from cluttering your first few rows, Magic Sorter makes it easy to manage product order across your store.

Drag, Drop and Merchandise Your Categories

Open any category and arrange products in exactly the order you want using an easy drag-and-drop editor.

Put featured products first, group related merchandise together, move seasonal items into prime positions, or build a completely custom layout without editing individual products one at a time.

Automatically Sort by Product Data

Don't want to manage every category manually? Let Magic Sorter do the work for you.

Automatically arrange products using criteria including:

• Best Selling

• Newest Products

• Oldest Products

• Price

• Inventory

• Product Name

• Your Featured Items

Choose the sort that makes sense for each category and Magic Sorter can automatically reapply it as your catalog changes.

Keep Your Categories Sorted Automatically

Product merchandising doesn't stay finished for long. Inventory changes, new products arrive, and yesterday's best seller may not be tomorrow's.

Magic Sorter can automatically rerun your configured sorts each day, helping category pages stay organized without someone having to continually rearrange products by hand.

Move Out-of-Stock Products Out of the Way

Out-of-stock merchandise doesn't necessarily need to disappear from your store, but it doesn't need to occupy prime space either.

With Magic Sorter Premium, out-of-stock products can automatically move to the bottom of your categories so available merchandise stays front and center.

When an item comes back in stock, Magic Sorter can automatically return it to its original position in the sort order. No remembering where it belonged and no manually moving it back.

Save Seasonal and Promotional Layouts

Create a product arrangement you know you'll want again and save it as a Snapshot.

Keep layouts ready for Black Friday, Christmas, seasonal assortments, product launches, special promotions, or any other merchandising setup you regularly use.

Premium increases the number of saved Snapshots from 3 to 50.

Schedule Your Merchandising Ahead of Time

Saved layouts can also be scheduled to go live automatically.

Prepare a holiday category in advance, schedule a promotion to begin on a specific date, or set recurring seasonal layouts so your merchandising changes when you want it to without someone needing to remember to make the switch.

Premium supports up to 20 scheduled sorts compared with 1 on the Base plan.

Quick Sort from a Spreadsheet

Already have the perfect product order in Excel or another system?

Use Quick Sort to paste an ordered list of SKUs or BigCommerce Product IDs and Magic Sorter rearranges the category to match.

Products that aren't included in your list remain in their relative order at the end, making Quick Sort an easy way to transfer a merchandising plan from a spreadsheet into your store.

Automatic Backups

Every sort is automatically backed up so you're not stuck trying to remember how the category looked before a change.

Base plans retain backups for 7 days, while Premium extends backup history to 30 days.

Built for Large Catalogs

Magic Sorter is designed to make merchandising practical even when you're managing thousands of products and many categories.

Search and filter your category list, apply actions to multiple categories at once, turn automatic sorting on or off in bulk, change sort types, create Snapshots, and quickly see when each category was last updated or backed up.

Whether you prefer to personally merchandise every product or let automatic rules do most of the work, Magic Sorter gives you the tools to keep your BigCommerce category pages organized, current, and focused on the products you actually want shoppers to see.
