# Sort Options Sort options are managed through the administration interface and stored in the database. Each sort option has: * A display label shown to users * A value used in API requests The default sort option is determined by the database configuration. When a sort option is selected, its `elasticsearch_value` is used to construct the Elasticsearch query's sort clause. Sort options can be configured to sort by price (with inventory strategy support), discount amounts, custom attributes, or other product fields. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
