How to alphabetize items within a category?

[AlissaPicha]

In my square store and items list everything shows up in alphabetical order, however when I preview and look at my online store they are listed in the order I put them in within their categories. 
Also when I’m in preview mode I can only open select items to see the variation options. I have different pictures for each variation and those aren’t showing up when selected from the drop down menu on the items that I can get to open. Any help would be appreciated!

Welcome to the Square Seller Community @AlissaPicha!

This Weebly Community thread talks about a newer released feature that allows you to sort your items alphabetically. Hopefully this helps.

The variation image issue sounds odd. Which type of internet browser are you using?

How do you put categories in alphabetic order?  I have been adding categories as I go along.  Now they are not in alphabetical order.

Hi there, @jaynel - thanks for reaching out to us here on the Seller Community! Happy to have you join us here!

I've gone ahead and merged your post into an existing thread of Sellers who were also looking for information regarding alphabetizing categories and items within the Online Store. Take a look at this Best Answer from Nika! - She links to a thread on a Weebly which will highlight a new feature to capitalize on organizing your categories and items in the manner in which you prefer, including alphabetical.

Let us know if anything else comes up! We are here to help.

I lost a category trying to move it. I think it ended up as a subcategory. Did not want that.  Now I cannot find it. I need to know how to retreive it.  Then I need direction on how to put categories in alphabetical order.

Hey there, @jaynel - 

No worries! If you go to the Item Library in your Dashboard there is a search bar where you can enter the category you're looking for. Once you select it, then you can select the Category to edit. 

Please let me know if you have any other questions.
