Add option to order products in product slider component

[kamephis]

Description (*)

From a marketing perspective we want to have control over the sorting / position of the products in the product slider / grid component.

Expected behavior (*)

The sorting order for products in the products component can be set by the user.

Benefits

Users have more control over the presentation of their products. More important products can be arranged first and less important on other positions.

Additional information

One could be under the impression that products that are added manually by sku (comma separated) are actually shown in the set order. Unfortunately even there, products are sorted somehow. It's not really clear what sorting is applied.

Hi @kamephis,

By default, you should have the option to sort by:

• Position (apples only to Category and SKU)
• Newest Products First
• Oldest Products First
• Name: A - Z
• Name: Z - A
• SKU: Ascending
• SKU: Descending
• Stock: Low Stock First
• Stock: High Stock First
• Price: High to Low
• Price: Low to High

You can also use @magento give me 2.4.4 instance to spin up a vanilla environment where you can test this (since sorting orders could potentially be overridden by third-party modules).

Hi @bluemwhitew, unfortunately there is no ability to deploy Magento instance at the moment. Please try again later.
