Online Items / Category Merge Question

[freethinkerstx]

I have just completed the merge of my online items/categories. It's great that the items and categories are all in one place now.  I can't figure out how to change the order of my items listed on my online e site. By default, new items show up at the bottom of my website, I like to change the order of the online items to keep the page fresh. Is this option not available now?

Hi there @freethinkerstx,

Great job completing the merge, I'm glad to hear that you're finding it easier to manage things from the one place!

You can absolutely still reorder your items as per your preferences. To do this, you'll want to head to your Online Dashboard, then select Edit Site, and once in the site editor, select your Orders or Shop All page to view your items. From here, select the Item List on the template and then "Arrange and add items".

From here, you'll be able to click and drag your items so that your newest items are displaying at the top of your list. 

Let me know if that helps to answer your question, or if any other questions come up while you're working on your site!

Thank you for your answer. It took me a few tries to figure out that this opens up the Category page on the Square Dashboard. Then you scroll down to see the Add Items or Rearrange. This does rearrange items but wasn't really what I was looking for, I used to be able to see the images of the items on the page and I could visually "design" my page to be the most appealing. This is a list with thumbnails that don't have pictures. If I don't have all the items memorized, I can't tell what is going to look best for the flow of my page visually. This used to be an option before the update.

Perhaps someone here can help me. I have items in my Square Online Item Library, i.e., here:

https://square.online/app/store/users/.../sites/.../#/store/products 

that do not show up in my Square Item Library in the Dashboard, i.e., here: 

https://app.squareup.com/dashboard/items/library

The items in the "Square Online Item Library" do not have Categories assigned (I don't know if that is the problem or only a symptom) and I cannot assign Categories to them because the only option for assigning Categories goes to the Dashboard where the items do not appear. 

Is there any way, either in bulk or one at a time, to copy items that are only in Square Online into the Square Dashboard Items Library?
