How to bring certain products (ie, those that need to be sold, so to speak, first of all) to the top of the list of products in the category?

As an option to add an attribute, for example, featured type yes / no for both category and layer-by-layer navigation (categories with active filters) in the layer ..app / design / frontend / theme / package / layout / catalog.xml set default sorting, example:

<catalog_category_default translate="label"> <reference name="content"> <block type="catalog/category_view" name="category.products" template="catalog/category/view.phtml"> <block type="catalog/product_list" name="product_list" template="catalog/product/list.phtml"> <block type="catalog/product_list_toolbar" name="product_list_toolbar" template="catalog/product/list/toolbar.phtml"> <block type="page/html_pager" name="product_list_toolbar_pager" template="page/html/pager_bottom.phtml"/> <action method="setDefaultDirection"><string>desc</string></action> <action method="setDefaultOrder"><string>featured</string></action> <action method="setSortBy"><param>featured</param></action> </block> </block> </block> </reference>

Here's what to pay attention to, the DESC / ASC sorting type and the attribute (in this example, the featured) by which to sort

 <action method="setDefaultDirection"><string>desc</string></action> <action method="setDefaultOrder"><string>featured</string></action> <action method="setSortBy"><param>featured</param></action>

Similarly add to section and catalogsearch.xml if needed
