Product listing within a collection using the Dawn theme

Having a problem with listing the product within a collection based on the date when the product is made active within a collection using the Dawn theme. Currently the product is listed within the collection based on the date it is created in shopify. eg if I make list a product on sale today then it should be the first product in the sale collection. This is currently not the case.

I previously used the superstore theme and the product was listed correctly within the collection.

Would appreciate any suggestions. I do not wish to purchase an app as it is not a cost effective solution given I only have about 700 products

Hi @KWil1

As per my knowledge Shopify don’t store any date info about when product is active in specific collection.

Since product can be added in multiple collection therefore I think your case is not valid.

However if you are adding a product into a single collection, you can add a metafield at product level and write a custom code which will show product based on that field.
