The default SortBy functionality can be modified within Template JS by overriding the default Script block. Additional supported options can be added as well as edits to the default labeling.

See : [Custom Overrides](docId:_bc3GcThleEaToYujDtuE) for details on preparing for Klevu JS overriding

See : An in-action example and the source code on the [Klevu CodeSandbox](https://codesandbox.io/s/change-sorting-options-867krq)

## Template JS Override

The SortBy options template block can be modified using the [Set Template](docId:6YVX9naw6AX68WYguCOB7) override.  The [Set Custom Helpers](docId\:Q0fQR_0VzOsbxRbf7RS_L) are used to modify the desired display text of the selected option as well.
