With the Sorting setting, you can decide whether your items/products display in ascending (or descending) order within the categories on your Booking Page.

 

By default, the Sorting setting is not selected. Items/products display in descending order (highest to lowest) based on the numerical values assigned to the items or products within their related builder settings.

The higher the sort order of an item/product, the higher the offerings are listed within their categories on the Booking Page. See the following example.

 

Sort Order	Item/Product
3	Bungee Jumping from the Top of the O2
2	Adventure Course - Experience nature and Adrenaline
1	The Zip - Zipline Tour

 

You can reverse the results by selecting the option Use ascending weights so that Sorting switches to ascending order (lowest to highest). The lower the sort order, the higher the offering is listed.

 

Sort Order	Item/Product
1	The Zip - Zipline Tour
2	Adventure Course - Experience nature and Adrenaline
3	Bungee Jumping from the Top of the O2

 

The numerical sort order value is configured for items within the Item Builder (Inventory > Items).  Inventory - Item Builder: Description The numerical sort order value is configured for products within the Product Builder (Inventory > Products).
