Hi,

can I set the manual sort order within a collection programmatically?

Thanks

Hi @Denizthemenace 

You can add products to a manual collection via the API and specify the sort order with the position and sort_value fields. You should be able to have an app programatically add the products to a collection as long as you have them listed in the desired order on your end.

Here's a link to the relevant documentation - Collect is the endpoint that adds products to collections - https://shopify.dev/api/admin/rest/reference/products/collect

Hi, can you provide me some examples?

I am trying but doesn't work

curl -d '{"collect":{"product_id":5015268524165,"collection_id":263249199237,"sort_value":"14"}}' -X POST "https://my-shop.myshopify.com/admin/api/2021-10/collects.json" -H "X-Shopify-Access-Token: shppa_380de19cc965XXXXXXaba" -H "Content-Type: application/json"

{"collect":{"id":28940172394629,"collection_id":263249199237,"product_id":5015268524165,"created_at":"2021-12-29T21:20:51+01:00","updated_at":"2021-12-29T21:20:51+01:00","position":7,"sort_value":"0000000007"}}%

Did you ever figure this out?  This does not work on my end either,
