Sort by options

Logged-in and logged-out users will see different default sorting behaviors:

  • In progress
    Courses appear in order of student progress—most progress to least. All other products are then sorted alphabetically.

  • Name (A–Z)
    Sorts products alphabetically by title.

  • Name (Z–A)
    Sorts products in reverse alphabetical order.

  • Recommended order
    Courses appear first in the custom order set in the Course Index via the Reorder button. All remaining products display alphabetically.

Tip: These sort settings ensure returning students see what they’re actively working on, while new visitors get a polished, structured first impression.


FAQs

Can students change the sort themselves?

Yes. Students can choose any available sort option from the dropdown on the Browse Products page.

What if a product isn’t appearing under an author filter?
