In the eldar.biz store, the arrangement of products within categories directly affects the clarity of the offer and the shopping experience. Customers often browse products visually—the order of models, variants, series, and logical grouping within a category matters.

Problem

In standard Magento, manually setting product positions in a category was:

• time-consuming with frequent changes,

• prone to errors (duplicate positions, gaps in numbering),

• inconvenient when organizing a larger number of products.

Implemented solution

The Kowal_DraggableSortProduct module was used, which:

• enabled dragging products in the category assignment grid,

• automatically recalculated Position values,

• saved the order according to the Magento mechanism (JSON in in_category_products).

Result

• Faster category organization—arranging the list became a drag-and-drop operation.

• Better offer readability—products can be presented in a logical sequence (e.g., series, collections, sales priorities).

• Fewer position errors—automatic numbering eliminates a noticeable share of errors from manual editing.

• Greater merchandising control—it is easier to promote key products at the top of the list.
