* Clicking on **+ New General Sorting Setting** button or clicking on the listed Sorting Settings, users can reach the **Add/Edit General Sorting Setting** form.
* Users can;
  * give value to the sorting *name, sorting value* of the General *Sorting Setting,*
    * The *sorting value* of the General Sorting Setting determines the query name which can be seen on the shop (*{shopURL}.com/{relevant\_path}/?sorter=\<sorting\_value>*).
  * select the *sales channel* and *visibility (whether the setting will be visible or not on the Shop)* values,
  * fill in the *Is Default Sorting, Remove Elastic Score Effect* checkboxes
    * Before Elasticsearch starts scoring documents, it first reduces the candidate documents down by applying a boolean test. Based on the match between the document and the query, the score of documents determine how they are rank ordered for relevancy.<br>

{% hint style="info" %}
To create the General Sorting Setting properly, users should link *Sorting Algorithms* with the relevant *General Sorting Setting.* This operation can be held under the *Sorting* tab on the *Add/Edit General Sorting Setting* form. One or multiple sorting algorithms can be assigned to the relevant General Sorting Setting and their priority can be changed via drag and drop.
