[Global Sort Options (GSO)](https://support.tagalys.com/collections-merchandising?hsLang=en#global-sort-options-gso) # What is a Global Sort Option (GSO)? ## GSO allows merchants to instantly apply product merchandising strategies across features like Recommendations and Listing pages in a single action, without having to individually apply them across these features. Tagalys enables merchants to easily apply product merchandising strategies across features, but when individually applied, there is room for error as the process is manual & time-consuming. The **Global Sort Options (GSO)** is a feature in Tagalys that allows merchants to create custom product merchandising strategies and apply it across one or many features instantly based on their business insights. This also allows them to manage these strategies at a global level vs. having to manage them individually across each feature. ![](https://support.tagalys.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Oct-24-2024-08-56-40-1705-AM.png?width=2940&height=1664&name=image-png-Oct-24-2024-08-56-40-1705-AM.png)  The **GSO** helps save a considerable amount of time, eliminates room for manual error, and provides automation to increase productivity.  To read more on how you can apply the GSO to multiple listing pages, [read here.](https://support.tagalys.com/how-do-i-apply-global-sorting-option-gso-to-one-or-many-categories-collections-and-recommendation-widgets?hsLang=en) - [Products](https://support.tagalys.com/products?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Categories | Collections](https://support.tagalys.com/products?hsLang=en#categories-collections) - [General](https://support.tagalys.com/products?hsLang=en#general) - [Customizations](https://support.tagalys.com/products?hsLang=en#customizations) - [Troubleshooting](https://support.tagalys.com/products?hsLang=en#troubleshooting) - [Magento](https://support.tagalys.com/magento?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Installation and Onboarding](https://support.tagalys.com/magento?hsLang=en#installation-and-onboarding) - [Troubleshooting](https://support.tagalys.com/magento?hsLang=en#troubleshooting) - [Shopify](https://support.tagalys.com/shopify?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Installation and Onboarding](https://support.tagalys.com/shopify?hsLang=en#installation-and-onboarding) - [Troubleshooting](https://support.tagalys.com/shopify?hsLang=en#troubleshooting) - [General](https://support.tagalys.com/shopify?hsLang=en#general) - [Uninstallation](https://support.tagalys.com/shopify?hsLang=en#uninstallation) - [FAQs](https://support.tagalys.com/faqs?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Client Data](https://support.tagalys.com/faqs?hsLang=en#client-data) - [Pricing](https://support.tagalys.com/faqs?hsLang=en#pricing) - [General FAQs](https://support.tagalys.com/faqs?hsLang=en#general-faqs) - [Integration](https://support.tagalys.com/integration?hsLang=en) - [A/B testing](https://support.tagalys.com/a-b-testing?hsLang=en#main-content) - [A/B testing](https://support.tagalys.com/a-b-testing?hsLang=en#a-b-testing) - [Collections merchandising](https://support.tagalys.com/collections-merchandising?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Product sequencing](https://support.tagalys.com/collections-merchandising?hsLang=en#product-sequencing) - [Global Sort Options (GSO)](https://support.tagalys.com/collections-merchandising?hsLang=en#global-sort-options-gso) - [Product pinning](https://support.tagalys.com/collections-merchandising?hsLang=en#product-pinning) - [Promotion/Demotion](https://support.tagalys.com/collections-merchandising?hsLang=en#promotion-demotion) - [Version Scheduling (Draft and historical versions)](https://support.tagalys.com/collections-merchandising?hsLang=en#version-scheduling-draft-and-historical-versions) - [A/B testing](https://support.tagalys.com/collections-merchandising?hsLang=en#a-b-testing) - [Other](https://support.tagalys.com/collections-merchandising?hsLang=en#other) - [Looks](https://support.tagalys.com/collections-merchandising?hsLang=en#looks) - [Search](https://support.tagalys.com/search?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Search Results](https://support.tagalys.com/search?hsLang=en#search-results) - [Search Suggestions](https://support.tagalys.com/search?hsLang=en#search-suggestions) - [Search Analysis section](https://support.tagalys.com/search?hsLang=en#search-analysis-section) - [Search Accuracy](https://support.tagalys.com/search?hsLang=en#search-accuracy) - [Merchandised Search](https://support.tagalys.com/search?hsLang=en#merchandised-search) - [Other](https://support.tagalys.com/search?hsLang=en#other) - [Recommendations](https://support.tagalys.com/recommendations?hsLang=en) - [Markets and segments](https://support.tagalys.com/markets-and-segments?hsLang=en) - [Dashboard Reporting](https://support.tagalys.com/dashboard-reporting?hsLang=en) - [General](https://support.tagalys.com/general?hsLang=en) - Home - Products - Pricing - Blog - Company [![Chill listening crop-3](https://support.tagalys.com/hs-fs/hubfs/New-Tagalys-Black-Logo-Large-1.png?width=59&height=24&name=New-Tagalys-Black-Logo-Large-1.png "Chill listening crop-3")](http://tagalys.com) Tagalys Support Center Copyright © 2026, Tagalys Inc
