Collection order shapes what shoppers see first, and what they see first shapes what sells. Reordering collections by hand works for a small catalog with a few products, but it breaks down as inventory, sales and margins shift every day. Here are the situations where merchants use Rankify: Collection Sort to keep collections current automatically.
Sold-out cleanup
Push out-of-stock products to the bottom instead of leaving them at the top.
Best-seller visibility
Keep collections reflecting current sales, not last month's order.
Margin-led merchandising
Pin high-margin products to prominent positions.
Weighted scoring
Combine sales, stock, margin and tags into one ranking on Plus and Advanced.
Safe rollout
Preview a rule's result before it goes live on the storefront.
Large catalogs
Plus and Advanced scale to 100,000 or unlimited products.
Keeping sold-out products out of the way
This is the most immediate use case: a product sells out and, without automated sorting, it can sit at the top of a collection until someone notices and moves it. Rankify's automated sold-out push down, included on every plan, moves those products lower as soon as stock hits zero, so shoppers see items they can actually buy.
Surfacing current best sellers
Sales patterns change week to week, especially around promotions or seasonal demand. Rather than manually re-sorting a collection every time a new product takes the lead, Rankify's real-time sales-based sorting keeps the order current on its own.
Protecting margin on busy collections
Not every top seller is equally profitable. Merchants use Rankify to pin high-margin products to prominent positions within a collection, so promotional traffic isn't only landing on the lowest-margin items.
Running a weighted merchandising strategy
On the Plus and Advanced plans, merchants combine several attributes, such as sales velocity, stock level, margin and tags, into a single weighted ranking score, rather than picking one sort order and living with its trade-offs. Advanced adds custom weighted metrics and real-time dynamic reordering for stores that want the most control.
Rankify automates collection sorting with more customization options than built-in rules. It's flexible, easy to use, and a huge time-saver! Highly recommended!

Because Rankify lets you preview a collection's new order before publishing, merchants use it to test a rule change, such as a new weighting for margin, without risking a confusing storefront experience if the result isn't what they expected.
Scaling sorting across a large catalog
Stores with large catalogs move to the Plus plan, which supports up to 100,000 products and unlimited smart collections, or the Advanced plan, which supports unlimited products and collections along with real-time dynamic reordering. This lets automated sorting run consistently across every collection instead of only a handful.
Smaller stores that just need the basics
Not every store needs unlimited collections. The Basic plan, at $9.50 a month, covers up to 1,000 products across 3 smart collections with standard attribute sorting and automated sold-out push down, which is enough for many smaller catalogs.
