Related product Sort Order should be respected in Frontend #537
Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When defining the SortOrder of products in a Related Products group in the PIM (field ProductRelatedSortOrder), the order is respected in the database but not reflected in the frontend when using the related products component/slider.
Instead, the products appear in a seemingly arbitrary order, making it impossible to control the display order defined in the PIM.
Describe the solution you'd like
The frontend related products component should respect the ProductRelatedSortOrder defined in the related products group and render the products in that exact order.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Currently there is no reliable workaround, as adding a fixed value to the product and adding that to "sort by" is not an option givin a product may be sorted differently on different products.
Sorting in the frontend component is not a viable option because the intended order is already defined in the PIM and should be reused.
Additional context
In the database (EcomProductsRelated), the order is clearly defined via ProductRelatedSortOrder, but the related products slider in the frontend does not follow this order.
