How to add custom options to Product Sort By drop down in Magento?

I have developed my first Magento site and my client has asked me to do something I cannot figure out how to do.

Currently, in any given category, the product Sort By dropdown contains the following options:

Position
Name
Price

I need to change that to:

Relevance
Popular
Price

How do I do this?

This is all to do with your attributes. Say you have an attribute in

Admin>Catalog>Attributes>Manage Attributes>[attribute like: 'name' etc>Properties>Frontend Properties>"Used for sorting in product listing".

you need to select Yes. Then once you have selected Yes in the attributes you want to sort by, go into

Admin>Catalog>Manage Categories>[Select your category you are displaying the drop down in]>Display Settings tab,

then select the Attributes you want to be sorted by in the Available Product Listing Sort By list. If the box is greyed out, untick the Use All Available Attributes checkbox. You may need to hold Ctrl and click on the attributes to select multiple values. Then Save.

Done

Looks like the product type with drop-down is Configurable Product. You can see these three options,

Position
Name
Price

You can locate these options under,

Catalog->Manage Products->Your_product->Associated Products->Super product attributes configuration

Also, you can directly update this into,

Relevance
Popular
Price

In case if these fields are missing, you can search for attributes named, Position||Name||Price. You can locate the label,

Catalog->Attributes->Manage Attributes->Your_attribute->Manage Labels/Options.
