Variants won't stay in the right order

Store Design

Topic summary

A user is experiencing an issue where product variants revert to their original order after being manually reordered and saved. Despite dragging variants into the desired sequence and clicking DONE/SAVE, the changes don’t persist.

Attempted Solutions:

  • One responder suggested using “More Options > Reorder Variants” in the variants section
  • The original poster cannot locate this “More Options” button (screenshot provided)
  • They are working in Craft theme, attempting to correct one listing before CSV import

Current Status:

  • Issue remains unresolved
  • Another user confirmed experiencing the same bug, noting it particularly affects variants where some option values have been deleted from certain SKUs while maintained on others
  • The sorting appears to become “hard locked” and unresponsive to manual reordering attempts

Hi there,

I have entered a list of variants, but then wanted to change the order. I am draging them into the right order, clicking DONE, clicking SAVE.

But they keep going back into the original order. Can anyone tell me how to fix this please? Thanks

Hi there @vancouver_k

You can reorder your variants on the product page by scrolling down to the variants section, clicking More Options > Reorder Variants

You can then manually drag them into the order that you would like them to appear in.
Let me know if it works for you!

I can’t see ‘more options’ in the variant section.

manually because I’m getting one listing correct before copying it over via CSV. I’m using craft

+1 to this bug, still a problem it looks like with some variations. Items that have some option values deleted from the variation/SKU while maintained on others seems to be the issue. It gets hard locked to whatever sorting scheme it makes up, and I cant move the option value sorting.
