Rearrange Products in Asset List

Last Updated: 14/09/2026

The Rearrange By Priority action in ARShades Studio controls the display order of products and their variants within a catalogue. This ensures catalogues appear in a logical sequence that matches brand guidelines, seasonal campaigns, or merchandising strategies.

Rearranging does not affect product data or subscription usage but simply changes how products are presented to end users. The order you set here is automatically reflected in Web Catalogues and VTO Apps, while the order of variants is applied to VTO and 3D AR multi-product layouts.

How to Rearrange Products​

  1. Go to the My Catalogues section and open the catalogue you want to manage.
  2. Click the Assets List button on the catalogue card.
  3. In the toolbar at the top of the Assets List, click Rearrange By Priority.
  4. A dialog opens with the full product list. Drag any row by the handle on its left to move it up or down.
  5. The number next to each row is the resulting Priority: 1 is the first product shown, and the numbers renumber themselves as you drag.
  6. Click Save, then confirm in the Confirm Product Rearrangement dialog.
The new order is not saved as you drag

Dragging rows only changes the preview inside the dialog. Nothing reaches the catalogue until you click Save and confirm. If you close the dialog with unsaved changes, Studio asks “Discard changes?” — choose Discard to abandon them, or Cancel to go back and save.

Priority is set by dragging, not by typing

There is no numeric field to fill in. The Priority numbers are read-only: they show you the order that dragging has produced.

Important: The order of products in the Assets List directly defines:

  • Which products appear first in Web Catalogues.
  • Which products are prioritised as the first entries inside VTO Apps.

If you want specific products to appear at the top, you must adjust their order in the catalogue.

Rearranging Variants​

  • Expand a product row in the Assets List to reveal its variants.
  • Click Rearrange Variants By Priority to order the variants of that product.
  • The dialog works exactly like the one for products: drag to reorder, then Save and confirm in Confirm Variant Rearrangement.

The button only appears on products that have more than one variant — with a single variant there is no order to change.

Important: The order of variants defines how they appear:

  • In the colour/variant selector inside VTO.
  • In the sequence of models inside 3D AR multi-product viewers.

If you want a specific colour variant to appear first, or to control the entire sequence of variants shown to users, you must reorder them in the catalogue.

If You Cannot See the Buttons​

Rearrange By Priority and Rearrange Variants By Priority are hidden:

  • on narrow screens, where the toolbar is condensed;
  • for roles that are not allowed to modify a catalogue, which can open the Assets List but not change it.

A draft catalogue shows no action buttons at all on its card — Assets List included — so there is no Assets List to reorder until the catalogue is published.

Result​

  • Once saved and confirmed, the new order is applied to the catalogue.
  • Published catalogues automatically reflect the updated arrangement.
  • VTO and 3D AR experiences respect the chosen order for both products and variants.

Best Practice​

  • Place best-selling or featured products at the top of the list for greater visibility.
  • Group products logically (e.g., by brand or collection) to help users navigate catalogues easily.
  • Order variants strategically if you want to highlight a colour or manage how users explore multi-variant products.
  • Reorder in one sitting and save once: each save is a separate confirmation, so a long session of small saves is slower than a single pass.
  • Regularly review product and variant order to ensure it reflects current campaigns or seasonal updates.
