Get navigation menu in alpabetic order

Topic summary

Main issue: A store owner wants the navigation menu automatically sorted in alphabetical order instead of manually rearranging items, noting there are ~100 show-based categories, making updates time-consuming.

Recent update: A responder states this requires theme customization using Liquid (Shopify’s templating language) to programmatically sort links. They ask whether alphabetizing should apply to top-level (parent) menu items, submenu items (sub-collections), or both.

Status: No code or step-by-step solution was provided; no changes implemented yet. The discussion remains open pending clarification on which menu levels need sorting.

Key considerations:

  • Implement a Liquid-based sort for navigation links (parent and/or child levels).
  • Determine scope (entire menu vs. specific submenus) before coding.
  • No attachments or examples were included.

Next steps: Clarify sorting scope and proceed with Liquid customization to automate alphabetical ordering; potential off-platform collaboration was suggested.

Hi. Is there a faster way to get my navigation menys in alphatetic order other then doing it manually?

i have like 100 different shows people can look for items from and it takes ages to put in a new show in the menu.

My store is Kamiko.se

Best regards Tom

This will need looking up and coding inside liquid.

Do you need the parent links on this order or the links inside the sub-collection as well?
