I’m trying to rearrange the products in my collections. I was able to sort them manually, but when I view my site, they’re still in the wrong order. I need bench, stool, shirt. Not stool, shirt, bench, like the way it is now.
Topic summary
Issue: Manual product ordering in a collection isn’t reflected on the live site. Desired order is “bench, stool, shirt,” but the storefront shows “stool, shirt, bench.”
Context: User manually sorted products in the collection. The site appears to ignore that order. The thread title references the Horizon theme.
Evidence: Two screenshots are attached—one likely showing the admin’s manual sort, the other the live collection display—indicating the mismatch. Images are central to understanding the discrepancy.
Actions taken: Manual sorting applied in the admin interface.
Outcome: No fix or workaround provided yet; no replies confirming a solution.
Status: Unresolved/ongoing.
Open question: How to ensure the manual sort order is honored on the live collection view (potentially theme-specific behavior in Horizon).
It appears that you have set the collection to Sort correctly: The storefront still displays Stool → Shirt → Bench even after you manually ordered the products as Bench → Stool → Shirt in your Shopify admin.
A few checks that typically resolve this are as follows:
In the collection editor, double-check your manual order. Sometimes a small drag might change things without you noticing.
Shopify may occasionally display an earlier cached version, so clear your browser’s cache or visit the collection in a private or incognito session.
Check your theme options. Some themes use their own “sort by” setting on the collection page to replace Shopify’s manual sorting.
Tell me the theme you’re using so I can follow you through the process if you’ve tried everything and it’s still not displaying right.
The product are being sorted alphabetical order, if you willing to change that you need to access theme settings check for collection or product settings and see if sorting is included, if not, you can do that by editing the theme code to disable the alphabetical order arrangement. Hope you find this helpful.
You do have collection Products, but your “Catalog” link in the menu points to /collections/all which is not a full collection by default and you can’t set sort there.
If you visit https://southbayhomefitness.com/collections/products the order is as you want it:
Update: – if you create a new collection called “All”, it will replace the pseudo-collection displayed at /collections/all and you would be able to set sort order on that one in back-end.
I’m using the Horizon theme. Nothing on checklist solved it, FYI
Is there a way for the ‘Catalog’ button got to /products instead of /all?
It’s your menu, change it as you like
