Tip: Sorting made easier
If you use the ShopSite backoffice to manually arrange your products and/or page links, there is a simple trick to easily insert a new page or product in the middle of the list without having to renumber all the entries.
Let’s say you have 3 page links, and you want to insert this new page link in between the first and second link. Simply number your new page 1.5, and ShopSite will insert it between the first and second link, and renumber the entries for next time as 1,2,3,4. You can use decimals on the manual sort page to get in between links/products for new items, so you no longer have to renumber all the entries on the page.
