How to Configure Magento 2 Product Listing

Appropriate product listing on a category page eases the navigation of a website. It makes it easy for visitors to browse through the products in an online store if the products are listed properly and it contributes to the enhanced on-site experience of the store.

The default Magento 2 offers two options to display products on the category page, i.e., list and grid. Also, the admin can set the number of products on Magento 2 category page, configure the product sorting based on product attributes, and other such configurations.
