Hi <@U8X7E86M6> , I’d like to ask about the default search results on the SC PLP page. Is it possible to sort by multiple fields at the same time? For example, first by category (DESC), then by release date (DESC), and finally by size (ASC)? Or is there any alternative way to achieve this?

Kinda. The items API supports multiple sorts but there's no way in the interface to implement this out of the box, so it would have to be a customisation

Essentially, you are using 'master search options' which are added to every request to the item search API

An example could be something like this:
```mountToApp: function mountToApp (container) {
    var Environment = container.getComponent('Environment');

    if (Environment) {
        Environment.defineSearchMasterOptions('Facets', function (searchApiMasterOptions) {
            searchApiMasterOptions.sort='custitem_search_boost:desc'
            return searchApiMasterOptions
        });
    }
}```
In this example, I am telling it to sort results _first_ by custom field on the item – then it will use whatever the customer selects in the UI

This also _always_ applies it, but there's no reason why you couldn't bind these to events (such as buttons in the UI)

Thanks for the explanation，that makes sense. Appreciate your guidance!
