Magento products sorting

[matejerkov4cb4]

Hello, I am looking for a solution..
I would like to sort my products on category pages by newest added.. When I add any new product i would like him to show last (first on page) by default. Is that possible?
And yes, I have sort by option (postition, price...) is that possible?
Thanks in advance!

Sort by Newest products first is an Adobe Commerce exclusive feature that doesn't exist in Magento 2 Open Source version - https://experienceleague.adobe.com/docs/commerce-admin/catalog/categories/products-in-category/categ...

Is there any solution/alternative to sort it by newest?

Here are a few ways to configure Magento to sort products on category pages by newest added by default:

1. Category Display Settings: In the Magento admin, go to Catalog > Categories and edit the target category. Under Display Settings, set "Sort By" to "Created". This will make newest products show first by default.

2. Plugin with Custom Sort: Install an extension like Porto or Smartwave Porto which adds a "Newest First" sort option. This provides a dropdown for customers to easily sort by newest.

3. Override Default Collection: In a custom module, override the default product collection for category views and apply an "order by created_at DESC" clause. This will fetch newest products first.

4. GraphQL/REST API Sort: Use the GraphQL or REST API to fetch the product list sorted by created_at timestamp. Then render the category page using this API data.

So in summary, the category configuration, plugins, custom code overrides, or APIs can all force a "Newest First" product order. Let me know if you need any help implementing a solution - I'd be happy to provide code examples or extensions to accomplish this.

Dear ChatGPT, there is no such thing as "Under Display Settings, set "Sort By" to "Created"."
