Active listings sorting by custom label (SKU)

[bmh7517]

When looking at my active listings and trying to sort by custom label they do not go in numerical order, is there a way to fix that?

Are you using Seller Hub? If so, I just click on the custom label column and it’ll go in alphabetical/numerical order once the ^ arrow is on that tab. It works for me.

Yes I am using the seller hub, I started with 1 and once I got over 100 it will not stay in order, it goes all the way up to 99 then everything over 100 is sorted near my first items, or item number 2 is with everything in the 20s. Its in numerical order but not sequential.

That’s how it sorts alphabetically. For instance, just like when you sort numeric files within a folder using Windows OS in a computer. Your numbers need to all have the same number of digits in order for it to sort the way you want it. You need to make you item number “2” into “002” so all your custom SKUs are 3 digits.

I will just sort by start date since I post them in order, your way would work but I do not know how long I will stay using this and don't want to mess up with adding the wrong amount of zeros.

Yea it would require time and work for you to change all of your existing 99 listings with custom sku under 100. FYI though, I believe the way the system works you can even accidentally put extra zeros (like 00002 vs 002) and it should still sort the way you want it. Just as long as there’s no decimal point anywhere in there.
