Hi,

In the "Product Catalog" module/app there is a checkbox called "Use group sort in group context". 

What does that do? I cannot find anything about it in the documentation.

Regards / Aki

If you are navigating a group (/products/groupname which is Default.aspx?ID=123&GroupID=Group1) so that you have the "GroupID" in the parameter list, the query that is used to find the products will have a "sort by" dynamically added to it to sort the products in the order they are sorted in that group. In the index there is a sort order field for each group a product belongs to, so what happens in the query is that it sorts by a different field - i.e. "sort by Group1_sort". You cannot see the fields when creating indexes and queries because they are hidden in the UI.

On the product index builder, this feature can be enabled/disabled using the settings of the product index builder (SkipGroupSorting) - see https://doc.dynamicweb.com/documentation-9/indexing/indexing-search/indexes#4777
