Arranging Square Online Items Alphabetically

[basilandbees]

The title of this thread has been edited by a Square Moderator from the original: Why can't items be displayed alphabetically by default?!?

Really frustrated that items in each category are displayed in the order added, and there is no way to reorder them except dragging each one to the correct position.  When a category has, say, 60 items, dragging each one around the list is VERY time consuming.  This should be a simple, one-click option, preferably a selectable default.

Hi @basilandbees, welcome to the Square Community. Thank you for your post!

You actually are able to organize items alphabetically. Here are a few simple steps:

• Log in to your Square Dashboard > then go to your Square Online Dashboard.
• From here, click "Website" and a dropdown menu should appear, then click "Edit Site."
• Now click "Home" at the top of your menu which will open a new menu. Click "Shop All" under Category Pages. Followed by "Item List" in the new menu. (Refer to red highlighted sections in the images below.)

• Once on the Items List page, select "Arrange items."
• This will take you take your Arrangement page where you will have a variety of arrangement types, including Alphabetical.

• Once your arrangement type is selected and you are satisfied with the way your site looks, simply click "Publish" in the right hand corner on the page.

I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions about this or anything else Square.

Hi

I don't see "Arrange Items/Arrangement" within "Items List". I only have "View Items" which takes me to the Dashboard to manage items. Items in the Dashboard Library are listed alphabetically.

Really frustrated that I cannot list items within a category alphabetically.

I hope this can be easily resolved.
