Click Actions, then Edit code. Open the product-grid-sortby.liquid file located in the Snippets folder.
Edit the snippet file
Locate both instances of the following line of code:
{%- for option in collection.sort_options -%}
Insert this code directly below them:
{%- if option.name == 'skip' -%}
{%- continue -%}
{%- endif -%}
Save.
Adjust the language settings
Return to the Online Store, then select Edit languages from the Actions menu.
Use the search field to locate the sort-by option(s) you want to hide (Best selling, for example).
Replace the sort-by option text with "skip" then Save.
