Custom Sorting

The ways Graze can order your feed, at a glance, and where to set them up.

Your feed's Rules decide which posts get in. How those posts are ordered is set in the Page section at the top of the Feed block in the editor, using page layers.

Every feed starts with a single layer that shows the newest posts first. You can change its ordering, or add more layers to mix orderings on every page: for example, 70% newest posts and 30% trending.

The orderings

New: newest posts first.
Old: oldest posts first.
Trending: posts gaining engagement quickly, with older posts decaying over time.
Blend: a mix of recency and engagement.
Best Of: the strongest posts, with a gravity setting that controls how quickly older posts sink.
Wilson Trending: ranks posts by how your feed's own readers react to them, including their "show more" and "show less" feedback.

Tuning an ordering

Each layer has its own Parameters, such as how much likes, replies and reposts count, how far back to look, and how quickly posts decay. Leave a field blank to use the default.

Each layer also has Thresholds, which let you require a minimum number of likes, replies or reposts before a post can appear in that layer. For example, a Trending layer could require 10 likes while a New layer next to it shows everything.
