Sorting Manual Collections

Store Feedback

Topic summary

A store owner is seeking a way to automatically add new products to the top of manual collections instead of the bottom. Currently, dragging products from the bottom to the top is time-consuming for collections containing thousands of items.

Current limitation: While sorting by newest is possible, it doesn’t work for curated sections (like gift collections) where product variety and intentional ordering matter.

Responses:

  • One user requested store credentials to provide custom code solutions
  • The store owner shared their URL but asked if remote assistance is possible without sharing passwords
  • A developer recommended the SortWise Collection Sort app, which offers automated sorting rules and advanced collection management options

  • Manual collections - at the moment, any new products that get added to the collection are automatically added to the bottom of the list. Are we able to change this so that they automatically join the top?

    Some of our collections have 1000s of products in, so it takes a while to drag them to the top from the bottom.

    I know you can sort by the newest, but this doesn’t work for gift sections where we want to mix up our products, rather than have lots of different items next to each other.
