See every featureImprove the way your products are displayed in collections – No coding required. Smart Collection App helps Shopify merchants organize their collections with powerful sorting and merchandising options. Whether launching new products, managing sales or optimizing for customer experience, this app gives you the flexibility to control how products appear.
Collections go stale fast. The same products sit at the top while the rest of your catalogue gathers dust. Sorted reshuffles your collection order on a schedule you choose — daily, weekly, whatever works. Every product gets its turn in the spotlight. Out-of-stock items are automatically moved to the back so customers only see what they can actually buy. No manual sorting. No dragging and dropping.

- Send sold-out products to the bottom (Automated)
- Manual sorting by drag and drop
