Summary

Use this screen to manage your list of Collections.

You can create a collection by giving it a name and assigning products to it via the product edit screen.

You can revise the order by using your mouse (if these are over multiple pages, you will need to select 'Show All'). This will affect how they are displayed in the main menu and on all pages.

How to resequence Products within Collections

You can manually resequence products within collections by dragging and dropping in to a new order. Simply follow the following steps.

1. Navigate to your CMS.
2. Click "Categories" under Catalogue.
3. Find the appropriate category. In this instance we are using "Living Room".
4. Select the appropriate sub-category(s). In this instance we are using "2 Seater Sofas".
5. When the products are listed, click "Show All".
6. After clicking "Show All", you will now be able to re-sequence the products by dragging and dropping to a new position. We will move "Harold Chaise Sofa" to the top.
7. We will also move "Orla Kiely Mimosa Small Sofa".
8. Once you are happy with the new sequence, you can simply return to the parent category, which will save the order of products.
