Sort products in-stock first

Description

Short Description

Allows sorting products in-stock first when listing different product pages and blocks like category, manufacturers, suppliers, new products, bestsellers and so on.

Also the module has a special price sorting feature that allows to sort products with combinations properly when a base price of a product is zero.

Benefits for the e-merchant

Hide products until they are out-of-stock - is a bad practice. Besides the fact that this requires manual work (if not automated), it is also not very good in terms of SEO and customers activity, which could be obtained (for example, commenting products by customers that can attract other customers).

Benefits for the customer

A customer sees always novel products in the first place and thereby save his time and nerves to find needed product that is in-stock.

Usage and installing

The module will work correctly with different modules that are using Prestashop’s core to get products list for different purposes (like random products functionality, bestsellers products functionality and so on). But by default the module doesn’t work together with «Layered navigation block» module and others modules that are using hooks for overriding behavior of Prestashop’s core (i.e. not using core classes or overridden classes instead). The «Sort products in-stock first» module is not easy to make it work with complex filtering modules like «Layered navigation block», «Advanced Search 4» and so on. They should be modified for this case. There is a manual for this module that has instructions to make work with «Layered navigation block» module.
