Is there a way to change the date an item was added to my Square library?

I want to be able to change the "date added" on certain items in my Square library. Or maybe a "Sort Date" field can be added? I sell some seasonal items that I carry over for a year or 2 depending on how popular they are. I need older seasonal items to show along with the new seasonal items as if they were all added together. I need them to sort by newest on my "Shop All" page of my Square website. I don't have the option for a custom sort order on this page because I have too many items.

Hey @NicoleVaughan ,

 

Thanks for reaching out! 

 

You cannot change the date the item was added. @Donnie-M  do you have any suggestions for this seller?

@NicoleVaughan do you just delete your seasonal items from the previous year?  I will take a look at my site and see what you could do to "trick" the sorting.  There are multiple ways to usually get around something like that.  But let me know how you are handling them off season because square has a newer archive option on items now that may solve the problem going forward.

Yes, my band aid fix is to just delete and readd. I found a post from 2020 where someone was asking the same thing about changing the date added and the only advice was to delete and add the item again.
