Goal: Create a weekly best-seller collection (vs. all-time) in Shopify. The poster suspects Shopify Admin only sorts by all-time sales.
Recommendations:
Bestsellers reSort: Offers advanced sorting to order collections by sales over a chosen recent period (e.g., past 7 days), matching the weekly need.
Rank King: Best Seller Ranking: Can auto-sort any collection by weekly best sellers or by sales in the last X days; also provides a widget to display weekly best sellers anywhere in the theme.
Notes:
No one confirmed a native Shopify Admin method for weekly sorting; responses focus on third-party apps.
No disagreements or technical caveats were raised.
Outcome/Status:
Actionable options provided (install and configure one of the suggested apps to sort by the past week or a custom time window; optionally use Rank King’s widget for on-theme display).
Thread remains open pending the original poster’s confirmation or selection of a solution.

I’m assuming it’s not possible to make a weekly best-seller collection locally in Shopify Admin, as the only option I see is to sort by all-time sales. (Though correct me if I’m wrong!)
If that’s the case, does anyone know of any apps that can be used to create a collection based on weekly sales?
It’s worth looking into the app called Bestsellers reSort as they offer some terrific advanced sorting functionality. They allow you to sort collections based on sales over X number of days so it should suit your needs.
If there is anything else I can help you with, please let me know.
You can do this with the Rank King: Best Seller Ranking app. You can use the collection sort feature to automatically sort any collection by weekly best sellers or best sellers of the last x days etc.. Alternatively you can use the widget to show your weekly best sellers anywhere in your store theme.
