Collection needs new sorting feature to have better user expereicne.

[JimCarnicelli]

When new products are added to a collection, they currently appear at the bottom of the page, requiring creators to either manually drag them upwards, which can be cumbersome.

Furthermore, a customer who is browsing a collection, needs to continuous scrolling down in order to access the new items.

To enhance user-friendliness, proposing the implementation of a straightforward dropdown menu on the collection page. This dropdown could be positioned at the top right, just below the banner image and next to the 'Share' button. The dropdown would offer the following sorting options:

- Sort by Newest
- Sort by Relevance/Popularity
- Sort by Price Low to High
- Sort by Price High to Low

This approach would simplify the process for customers to view and access the desired products within the collection, ensuring a more enjoyable browsing experience.

I actually prefer the newest products at the bottom. Not everyone wants new.

I agree with @CrazyMermaid - but I'm wondering if the collections are eventually going to be organized/ordered by the recommended sort thing like they are in the collection Pod on the product page. I would vote for having that be one of the sort options for the customer - either grouped or not, but in that order. It would certainly save us the hassle of having to order them by hand. I also think it would be helpful if the customer could filter the collection by product type (invitation, rsvp, save the date, program, menu, seating chart, etc.) or maybe even provide a search option so they'd have an easier time finding what they're looking for.

My other thought is that all of this might be a moot point since there is no longer a link to the collection from the product page - it's just displayed right there in the pod. So I'm wondering how many people are actually going to find their way to the collection itself... seems like they'd either have to have the link (like from Pinterest or something) or they'd have to visit your store and browse collections & my sense is that doesn't happen much, though I don't have enough data to know for sure.

@Cat I was having the same thoughts. I have to admit that I love the way collections display under products now.

Thank you all for your feedback and suggestions. I will advise the team now.

If that were the case, then why are we getting data on how often the collection is being visited and used as a source for a purchase.  I thought the real whole point of this was to encourage multiple purchases once someone was interested in a particular product -- don't think weddings right now, where that is the logical by-product.

You suggested what I keep meaning to come and suggest! Thank you
