Variants getting messed up when saved

[markf]

I have 50+ products that have identical variants. I have gone in and pasted the new variant code BUT once I go back in edit mode, some lines are not where they are supposed to be. The examples are below.

This is extremely frustrating and very TIME consuming and STILL....the code does not work properly. Please get this fixed.

We've already replied to your email about this, but just for the benefit of any others who may be reading along here:



The ordering of lines in our Variants configuration reflects the order of those SKUs in our database. When you modify a product with Variants, existing SKUs stay wherever they are and just get updated with any new specs, and when new lines (SKUs) are added to an existing Variants configuration, they get appended to the end of the database record and are thus shown at the end on the Variants config screen.



If you require a particular order, you can delete all the existing Variants lines (or Select All, Cut, and then Paste into a text editor like Notepad for temporary saving), so the Variants config is blank, then Submit to save changes to the product, then re-edit the product and repaste the Variants lines in the order you want including any new lines you're adding.
