Products can be manually ordered using a display order weight so you can decide which items appear first in a list or category. Because the custom display order tool is not yet integrated with Solr, the team has added a temporary function that still orders products by this display order weight when the default sorting is used.
Benefits for you
You stay in control of which products appear at the top of lists and categories.
Promotional or high‑margin products can be prioritised visually without waiting for a full Solr integration.
More consistent merchandising across your store, even while the long‑term search integration is still in progress.
