Topic summary

A user is experiencing issues with manual product sorting on their Shopify store using the Spotlight theme. Despite manually reordering products in the backend (specifically wanting a jumper to display before a jogger), the changes aren’t reflecting on the live site’s homepage and collection pages.

Initial Response:

  • Another user suggested using the theme customizer to arrange sections, but this didn’t address the actual problem.

Current Status:

  • The issue remains unresolved.
  • The problem is specifically with product order within collections, not section arrangement.
  • The manual sort feature in Shopify’s product management isn’t functioning as expected on the frontend.

Hi,

I am currently trying to reorder my products and the manual sort does not work. I have tried everything and nothing seems to work. I want the jumper to be displayed first and then the jogger.

I am using the spotlight theme.

Hi, You can go to customize to arrange the sections as you wish.

Hi,

Thank you but this is not what i meant. I was talking about the manual sort on the home page and then collections. I manually change the order of my products but it still doesn’t change on the website
