COLLECTION SORT BY NEW

[B3th3sd4]

I have imported the products from another platform, and all have the created_at, with the date of the import. What I want to achieve now, is to sort collection products by newest. But that seems imposible. Also tried Admin REST API, to change the created_at, but as it is read_only it will not change. Is there any way, if I set the collection to manual sorting, by using the REST API, to set the order of the products in the collection?

Hi,

Yes setting up the collection to manual sorting and re-ordering the products will work.

Hi,

Is there any way, that I can achieve the sorting through the API? Like setting the array with product id's that I want to be ordered?

Hi,

Solution through api can be like this:

1. Set the collection to manual sorting
2. You need use the collect resource, get existing collects of the above collection, delete them
3. And re-add them in the order you want to
