What can I do?")* Hi, There is no option to do that, especially that the products results can come from different categories so sorting products from different categories using their ordering in their different categories doesn't make any sense. The ordering is by default alphabetical, and joomla has an option to change it to the most recent, oldest or most popular, but that's it.

Because the ordering option of the menu items allows you to change the order of the menu items in the menus modules of Joomla. It's not linked to search results, so I'm not sure what you're talking about.
