[Product sequencing](https://support.tagalys.com/collections-merchandising?hsLang=en#product-sequencing) # How to Set Up Diversity? **Overview** The Diversity feature prevents products sharing the same attribute value (such as color, pattern, or design) from appearing next to each other or clustering in close proximity on your collection grid. For example, setting a diversity spacing gap of 2 positions for the attribute *Color* ensures that once a red item appears, no other red item is shown in the next 2 positions. This creates a visually balanced merchandising layout across your grid. **Prerequisites** - Diversity functionality requires Sequence to be selected as your primary sort option. - An attribute can be used for either Sequence or Diversity, but not both simultaneously. Attributes already used in a Sequence will appear greyed out in the Diversity settings and cannot be selected. **How to Set Up Diversity** Follow these steps from your Tagalys dashboard to configure diversity settings for a collection: Step 1: Enable Diversity - Open the collection you want to merchandise and navigate to the Sorting tab. - Ensure Sequence is selected as the sort method. ![](https://support.tagalys.com/hs-fs/hubfs/undefined-Nov-04-2026-02-12-31-4800-PM.png?width=2048&height=1106&name=undefined-Nov-04-2026-02-12-31-4800-PM.png) - In the Default sort settings section, enable the Diversity toggle. ![](https://support.tagalys.com/hs-fs/hubfs/undefined-Nov-04-2026-02-12-32-8009-PM.png?width=2048&height=1106&name=undefined-Nov-04-2026-02-12-32-8009-PM.png) **Step 2: Configure A Sequence** - Create a sequence, if one has not already been configured. Select the product attribute you want to use for sequencing (e.g.,Product Type). *![](https://support.tagalys.com/hs-fs/hubfs/undefined-Nov-04-2026-02-12-33-4598-PM.png?width=2048&height=1106&name=undefined-Nov-04-2026-02-12-33-4598-PM.png)* As seen below that the first row has 4 red dresses side by side and the second sequence has 2 black trousers side by side *![](https://support.tagalys.com/hs-fs/hubfs/undefined-Nov-04-2026-02-12-32-1171-PM.png?width=2048&height=1106&name=undefined-Nov-04-2026-02-12-32-1171-PM.png)* **Step 3: Select a Diversity Attribute** - Click on **Select attribute**.
