Product Tab

Technical Q&A
,
1

Given this fact: “The Desktop version of a store does not allow for saving of Product Tabs sort options but the App does”. I would guess many store admins use the desktop version for managing and designing stores. The large screen space makes it much easier. Is seems that storing and retrieving 2 more variables should not be that hard. One for sort key and one for sort order would handle it. Just exhausted by picking these items every time I leave the product screen. (Views do not save either) This is all from the Help Center.

Thanks for your time.

Hi @JKTaylorUS

It is incredibly frustrating when basic quality-of-life features are missing from the primary interface you use to manage your business. As you noted, the technical requirement to store a sort key and order is minimal. The fact that the Shopify Mobile App retains these preferences while the Desktop Admin does not is a puzzling disparity that forces unnecessary repetition on power users.

For admins focused on efficiency, these small friction points significantly drain productivity. Constantly re-selecting views every time you return to the product screen is a major hurdle.

Many developers and merchants have voiced similar concerns, yet it remains a documented limitation in the Help Center rather than a prioritized fix for the desktop workflow.

Hope this helps!

Thank you PieLab,

I would suggest that all customers with this complaint voice their concern so it gets more attention! Thanks to all of the Shopify Consumers.

It’s a chatgpt response telling you what you want to hear just echo’ing your own words back at you and not changing or effecting anything at all.
Don’t swallow things that don’t actually improve outcomes.

For actual feature requests contact an ACTUAL shopify advisor:
https://help.shopify.com/

And refer to something concrete in the docs so “product tabs” isn’t ambigous

How does one know if it’s a chatgpt

I have contacted the help team, getting a real person, not AI. I made two requests, about a year apart, and each time they found it interesting and quoted the doc as I did. I asked them to push it up the line.

I can modify the question to “When I click Products> in the left menu, there is an up/down arrow on the far right for sorting..”
Is clearer?

I know about filter feature, which provides no value for me.

Thanks for input and time Paul.
