Sorting allows you to rearrange the search results based on any fields in ascending or descending order. By default, the search results are shown in order of relevancy. Sort rules can be applied globally for all the searches (site rule), specific search queries (search rule), or certain categories (category rule) which are browsed by the customers.
In the case of multiple-sort rules, the first rule will have precedence over the other subsequent rules.
You can always use sort rules when you want to show products with the highest ratings at the top and lower ratings at the bottom of search results.
