organizing my product catalog

Topic summary

Reversing the product display order on the main catalog page from A–Z (default) to Z–A.

  • Context: The store uses a “vintage” theme. A screenshot was shared to illustrate the current catalog view and desired Z–A sort.
  • Initial request for more info: A participant asked for a link to inspect the store.
  • Proposed approach: Change the sort order in the store backend for a collection (screenshot provided showing where to adjust collection sorting).
  • Clarification: The requester is not trying to sort an individual collection, but the entire product catalog (about 700 products), implying the default/global catalog sort needs to be reversed.

Status: Unresolved. No confirmed method was provided to change the global/default catalog sort order; guidance so far addresses collection-level sorting only. Open question remains whether and how the platform allows reversing the default sort for the full catalog without using a collection-based workaround.

It is NOT a collection I am trying to change. It is the entire catalog of products. 700 of them. That is the challenge.
