How can I sort scores from highest to lowest or vice versa on a single CMS page in Webflow?

TL;DR
  • Use Webflow’s Collection List sort settings to display scores in fixed Ascending or Descending order.
  • For dynamic, user-controlled sorting on the front end, use Jetboost’s Sort Booster or custom JavaScript solutions.

To sort scores from highest to lowest or vice versa on a single CMS Collection Page in Webflow, you’ll need to use manual CMS sorting or custom JavaScript for dynamic sorting.

1. Use Webflow's Built-in Collection List Sorting

  • Go to the CMS Template Page where you're displaying the related items (e.g., a list of scores).
  • Select the Collection List element inside the template page.
  • In the Element Settings panel, scroll to Sort Order.
  • Choose the field that represents the score, then set it to Descending (highest to lowest) or Ascending (lowest to highest).
  • Publish the site to see the sorted list.

Limitations: Webflow only allows a single sort order per Collection List. You can’t dynamically toggle it on the front end with this method.

2. Use Jetboost (No-Code Option) for Frontend Sorting

  • Use a tool like Jetboost’s Sort Booster to allow users to sort CMS items dynamically on the page.
  • Install Jetboost, link it to your Webflow project, and follow the steps to set up a Sort Booster using the score field.
  • Add UI buttons or dropdowns labeled “High to Low” and “Low to High”.
  • Jetboost handles the rest, allowing sorting to occur client-side, without reloading.

3. Use Custom JavaScript for Sorting (Advanced Option)

  • Export your CMS scores into the page inside identifiable HTML containers or data attributes.
  • Write custom JavaScript that selects these items and sorts them in the DOM based on score values.
  • Add buttons that toggle between High to Low and Low to High and re-render the sorted items.
  • This method requires JavaScript knowledge and doesn’t affect SEO or page structure but gives full control over sorting behavior.

Summary

To sort scores on a CMS page in Webflow, use the built-in Collection List sorting for fixed order, or use tools like Jetboost or custom JavaScript for dynamic front-end sorting. Webflow does not support user-toggle sorting out of the box.
