When searching for products on the back end of Shopify, the results are no longer in alphabetical order. It’s becoming quite an issue for me personally. Now even when I use the bulk editor it doesn’t show alphabetically anymore either. Will Shopify revert back to alphabetical order for product search results on the back end?
Topic summary
Users report that Shopify’s back-end product search results are no longer displaying in alphabetical order by default, disrupting established workflows.
Key Issues:
- Search results and bulk editor views have stopped sorting alphabetically automatically
- The sorting reverts to “latest added” instead of maintaining alphabetical order
- Users must manually re-filter to A-Z each time they access the product list
- The mobile app appears unaffected by this change
Suggested Workaround:
- Use the filter options on the Products page to manually sort by Title (A-Z)
- This requires repeated action each session rather than being a persistent default
Status: The issue remains unresolved with no indication from Shopify about reverting to the previous alphabetical default sorting behavior.

In the product section, you can use the filter options to sort products by Title, which would arrange them alphabeticall.If you’re on the “Products” page, check if you can manually sort by the product title or use the search bar to filter specific products.
I am having the same problem, for years my products are listed alphabetical now it resorts to latest added and I have to filter into A-Z everytime. The app on my phone is not having this same problem. Any suggestions?
