- Short answer
- Yes: set the collection's sort to Manually and drag products; /collections/all is alphabetical unless you create a collection titled All.
- Where to set it (desktop)
- Products > Collections > your collection > Collection items > Default sort > Manually, then Save
- Moving many at once (desktop)
- Select products, then Move: To the beginning, To the end, or To position
- Shopify mobile app
- Tap and hold to drag, or Move items > Move to top or Move to bottom
- /collections/all catalog page
- Alphabetical by default; a collection titled All (condition Price is greater than $0, handle /all) controls its order
- Shopper sort choice
- Collection pages can be sorted by the sort_by URL parameter; your saved order is the default sort order (default_sort_by)
How do you set a manual order for a Shopify collection?
Manually is one of six sort options; the other five order products by most relevant (the default for new collections), best selling, title, price or date created.
- In your Shopify admin, go to Products > Collections and click the collection.
- In Collection items, pick Manually from the Default sort menu.
- Drag products, or select some and use Move: To the beginning, To the end or To position.
- Click Save.
In the Shopify mobile app, the option is Manual under Default sort order; tap and hold to drag, or use Move items: Move to top or Move to bottom.
Why does your storefront still show a different order?
Two causes show in the page's address; the third is in your admin:
- You're on /collections/all. That catalog page is alphabetical by default. To control it, create a collection titled All with the condition Price is greater than $0, keep its handle /all, and set its sort.
- The URL has
sort_by. Collection pages can be sorted by thesort_byURL parameter, which a theme can offer shoppers as a sort menu; your saved order is the collection's default sort order,default_sort_byin theme code. - You sorted the Products list. Sorting or filtering there doesn't change the order on your online store.
