A few questions regarding product variants. I’m working on a clients site, and working on a particular variant. Regardless of what I do and reorder it, after saving it always reverts to the bottom incorrect photo. I’ve tried rewording it (incase it’s prioritizing alphabetical/numerical sequins), used an invisible character, copied the entire product, all to no solution. As soon as I save it after reordering it, it pops back to the incorrect order.
I’ve found because there are only “B” in “Mixed 7mm-15mm”, not in the single length numbers, so it seems to be prioritizing the first letter B listed “curl” to length. However, would it be possible for the landing variant to automatically land on “C”?
An additional question/solution - would there be a way to put a line break between variants? First photo is how it appears in preview, and bottom is the mockup.
Thanks in advance!
Would it possible to get the link to the store?
I have everything in drafts, as I’m totally reorganizing my clients website so unfortunately it’s not live as I’m not wanting to update it until her and I go over it together. The theme is Sense. Also all items also are stricken out as of now as to not disrupt her inventory as well. Would full screen shots help?
Thanks for your response!
Were you able to find a solution for this issue? We’re experiencing the identical issue on a client store. Products with lots of variants, re-arrange them, save, refresh, and they always revert to the same incorrect order. We aren’t sure what to do with it either.
Hello! Same issue here. Looks like the default behavior in Shopify is the keep the order you set only for the first variant option, then for the next ones, it rearranges it first by alphabetical order but sending the unavailable options at the end. So say your first option is by default “Red” and second option is sizes, even if the smallest size is say 1mm, if not available in red, it will send it at the end. The solutions we’ve found is to either put the option for which the order matters the most (sizes) in first, so it keeps it and messes with the other options for which order is a little less relevant. Second option is to force an alphabetical order no matter what in the front end, but that does not stop it from reordering in the backend and that makes it unintuitive for the staff users.. It’s what we got so far! Hope this helps a bit.
