I am really beginning to hate Shopify. I I mported 1500 items from Etsy and found out today that the items have to be individually coded to be seen as physical objects!!! One at a time!!! I have to change from pounds to ounces as well. Just a couple more clicks per change. On top of that, I cannot order my items from most- to least-expensive so that I can code the highest-value items first. This is unacceptable. I guess it’s not to late to look for another service provider.
Topic summary
Users are requesting the ability to sort products by price directly in the Shopify admin panel’s product list view. Currently, no native price column exists alongside existing filters like inventory, type, and vendor.
Shopify’s Official Response:
- A support representative suggested using the bulk editor as a workaround: select products, click “Edit Products,” and ensure the price field is visible
- Alternatively, users could tag products by price and use third-party bulk editing apps like Bulk Product Edit by Hextom or Bulk Editing by Booster Apps
Community Frustration:
- Multiple users express strong disappointment that this basic feature remains unavailable after 3-5+ years of requests
- Merchants with large inventories (1,500-3,000+ items) find manual workarounds extremely time-consuming and impractical
- Users note competitors like Etsy and eBay offer this functionality automatically
- Several participants report considering switching platforms due to this limitation
- One user suggests creating collections to sort by price, though others dismiss this as insufficient for bulk operations
Current Status:
As of Winter 2024, the feature has not been implemented. The discussion remains unresolved with no official commitment from Shopify developers to add this functionality.
