# Improved Sorting Module
## Module overview
Help your customers find their next perfect product, with our new sorting module. Before, your customers had only three ways to sort your products, by: Position, Product Name or Price. Improved Sorting module gives them six additional sorting methods: **Best Sellers**, **New Products**, **Old Products**, **Cheapest**, **Most Expensive**, **Most Commented**.
## Module compatibility
This module is compatibile with Magento Community versions: **2.2** and **2.3**.
## How it works
Once installed, you immediately gain access to module features. There are not any settings to be made in an admin panel. To sort by desired property, click on **Sort By Toolbar**
List of sorting options will show up after clicking **Sort by**
**Best Sellers** - the most sold products come first
**New Products** - the recently added products come first
**Old Products** - the oldest products come first
**Cheapest** - sorting based on the lowest price
**Most Expensive** - sorting based on the highest price
**Most Commented** - sorting based on the amount of comments under products
All sorting options are fully compatible with magento 2, that means you can access them in **Configuration > Catalog > Storefront**
Or assign them freely to categories in **Catalog > Categories > Display Settings**
You can globally select the available sort options in **Configuration > Aurora > Improved Sorting -> Select Options**
