Ordering shopping cart items — now by drag and drop

If you use the ShalomCloud shopping cart, there’s a simple but powerful update you’ll want to know about: you can now reorder cart items with drag and drop.

What changed

Previously, the system arranged shopping cart items alphabetically by name. That meant if you wanted a specific item to appear near the top, you had to work around the system by adding prefixes to the item name.

That workaround is no longer necessary.

Drag items into the order you want

A new drag bar now appears to the left of each item, making it easy to move items up or down in the list. Want to feature certain journal ads first? Just drag them to the top.

This gives you direct control over the shopping cart layout without needing to rename items or use artificial sorting tricks.

Archived items stay out of the way

Archived items are now grouped at the bottom of the list. They remain sorted alphabetically and do not support drag and drop, since their placement no longer affects the active shopping cart order.

New items default to the bottom

When you add a new item, it appears at the bottom of the non-archived list. From there, you can place it wherever it belongs by dragging it into position.

Best of all, the ordering you set is preserved for public shoppers, so the cart appears exactly the way you arranged it.

Why this matters

This update makes the shopping cart more intuitive and flexible. Instead of relying on naming tricks, you can now highlight the items that matter most and create a cleaner, more intentional browsing experience for your buyers.

If you’ve wanted more control over item visibility and order in Shalom Cloud, this feature delivers exactly that.
