UnitedBuilt review for Shopify Search & Discovery

5 / 5

** [Updated Review] I have tested the sorting on our site and it is now sorted based on the order of the metafield values list. I appreciate your team quickly finding and correcting this bug! ** Replying to Shopify Response: (Thank you for your feedback! Metafield definitions have a “Limit to preset choices” feature, where you can predefine which values the metafield can accept and sort them manually using drag and drop. If you use that metafield as a filter, Shopify will apply your “preset choices” ordering to the filter values on your storefront. Head over to your shop settings, and look under “Custom data”, that's where you manage all metafield definitions. Find your “Size” metafield definition, check the box “Limit to preset choices” under “Rules”, and set all your Size values there in the order that you want them to appear on your storefront, including the ones that use a “-” or “/”.) -- I already tried this before making this review. It does not work as your described. I even checked again, after reading your response. This only sorts it when choosing a metafield value for a product, it does not manually sort it in the Shopify Search & Discovery app. Maybe I am missing something? ** -- So far, this app works great, especially for free. But, please add the ability to sort metafield values within the filter section manually. We have a "size" metafield and want it to sort from smallest to largest ascending. It is automatically sorting it by value, but if there is a "-" or "/" for fractions it does not sort correctly. Not sure if it would sort correctly if we used decimal values instead of fractions, but we want to display them as fractions. Manual sorting would be great.

[Update to response] Thank you for raising the problem! It has now been fixed. The values in your Size filter should be in the same order as your preset choices now. [Previous response, still valid.] Metafield definitions have a “Limit to preset choices” feature, where you can predefine which values the metafield can accept and sort them manually using drag and drop. If you use that metafield as a filter, Shopify will apply your “preset choices” ordering to the filter values on your storefront.
