New Order Filtering is Terrible!

Is this supposed to be an upgrade? Double or triple the number of clicks to see the same information, so hard to use.

The old way was so much better. Any way to go back to it?

No way to go back. Keep telling Shopify Support. They won’t know about their awful UI unless you tell them.

Is there a better forum category to complain on? Or some other way to complain about this absolute POS design!!

Not here, no. This is a peer to peer public forum. As with account issues, all feature requests and complaints should go to Shopify directly. Unless you just want to vent, then by all means :rofl:

@umangu No, you can’t fully go back to the old Shopify admin once it’s updated.

We completely agree! The new order & product page layouts with a dropdown of filters instead of tabs along the top of the page is adding more clicks for no reason. We would prefer to be able to see all our tabs in a line with a single glance at the page.

Couldn’t agree more. The new system is appalling and now restricts you from searching for more than one tag at once.

Hello @umangu

There is no way to switch the orders page back to the old filtering experience, so it is essentially a permanent UI change. The closest workaround is to recreate your old workflow using saved custom views for the filters you use most, then pin those views so the filters don’t need to be rebuilt each time. You can also perform bulk actions and use search operators to decrease the number of times you have to open the filter drawer. Many merchants are simplifying and sticking to 3-5 core views rather than filtering on the fly each time.

I’m amazed more people aren’t talking about this. I am slowly getting used to this mediocrity.
