And bookmark that tab so it always opens in the view you want
Topic summary
Users are requesting the ability to set a default sorting method for the Products page in Shopify admin, specifically to sort by “Newest Product First” instead of the current default “Product Title (A-Z)”.
Current Issue:
- The sorting preference resets to A-Z every time users navigate away and return to the Products page
- Creating custom views doesn’t allow saving sort order preferences
- This requires manually changing filters repeatedly throughout the day
Official Response:
- A Shopify representative confirmed that product sort options are static and cannot be saved in custom views
- The feedback has been shared with developers for potential future implementation
- Suggested workaround: Keep the Products page open in a dedicated tab with the preferred sort applied, and open other pages in new tabs
Status:
- No solution has been implemented as of the most recent posts
- Multiple users continue to request this feature, noting it’s a standard capability in competing platforms like Amazon
- The discussion remains open with no timeline for when this functionality might be added
