Using the GraphiQL app, I have been able to successfully reorder one product on one collection at a time doing the following…

How can I reorder multiple products on the same collection in one submission? I have tried a number of ways to build out an array in the variables section to no avail. Any help would be much appreciated!

Naturally, I searched for a day trying to find the answer before resorting to asking a question. Then what do you know, found something that would help.

Instead of passing the variables separately, I merged it into one query like so:

mutation {
  collectionReorderProducts(
  	id: "gid://shopify/Collection/263143489615",
  	moves: [
  	  {
      id: "gid://shopify/Product/6608989978703",
  	  newPosition: "0"
      },
      {
      id: "gid://shopify/Product/4165523734607",
  	  newPosition: "1"
      },
      {
      id: "gid://shopify/Product/6566603522127",
  	  newPosition: "2"
      },
      {
      id: "gid://shopify/Product/4508904521807",
  	  newPosition: "3"
      },
      {
      id: "gid://shopify/Product/4335383707727",
  	  newPosition: "4"
      }
    ]
  ) {
    userErrors {
      field
      message
    }
  }
}

And this worked to send all 5 requests in at once, only costing 10 pts. It would probably work if I structured it the same inside the query variables tab, but this will work better inside my PHP app.

Hope this helps someone else out in the future…
