Hi @Aixent ,

Shopify does not support sorting alphabetically for search results. You can only sort by price, refer: https://shopify.dev/themes/navigation-search/search#query-parameters , go to ‘sort_by’

If you want to add this you can just install app, refer https://apps.shopify.com/product-filter-search or https://apps.shopify.com/product-filter-and-search

Hope it helps!

So it’s $19 to be able to sort search results alphabetically? Thats absolutely nuts! Its a basic requirement of any site.

I am amazed that this could happen.

Nearly 3 years later - Shopify’s search API is still unacceptable.
