Make the collection start in chronological order

Store Design

Topic summary

A user seeks to display products in chronological order (newest first) on their collection page, but the default “all” collection doesn’t appear in the admin panel for customization.

Solution provided:

  • Navigate to Admin → Products → Collections → open specific collection
  • Adjust the “sort by” setting to control product order
  • For the “all” collection specifically: customize the Shop All menu link by appending ?sort_by=created-descending to the URL

Example URL format:
https://refadestudio.it/collections/all?sort_by=created-descending

This workaround bypasses the limitation of the “all” collection not being editable in the standard collection settings.

Hi everyone, do you know how to make the collection start in chronological order, i.e. from the date of last insertion? Because now I think the products are sorted in alphabetical order.

Thanks a lot to everyone

Products → collections → open the collection

You can set the sort by of the collection

I knew it was done this way, but unfortunately the “all” collection is not present in the list. That is, I didn’t create the “all” collection, it was already there by default

Hi @Marco211

You can customize Shop All link of your menu to this.
