# Manage sort orders in bulk

> Publish, unpublish, duplicate, edit, or delete multiple sort orders at once from the Sort Orders list using bulk select and the table toolbar actions.

The **Sort Orders** list supports multi-select so you can publish, pause, duplicate, edit, or remove many sort orders in a single action. This is useful for seasonal launches, A/B test cleanup, or quickly reverting a batch of changes. You can also toggle a single sort order's status from its row actions menu without entering selection mode.

## Toggle status from the row actions

1. Go to **Sort Orders**.
2. Find the sort order you want to publish or unpublish.
3. Click the actions menu on its row.
4. Select **Publish** if the sort order is currently unpublished, or **Unpublish** if it is currently live.

The change applies immediately and the status badge updates.

## Steps

1. Go to **Sort Orders**.
2. Use the search box or any column filter to narrow the list to the sort orders you want to act on.
3. Click **Select** in the actions column header to enter selection mode.
4. Tick the checkbox on each sort order. To select a range, click the first checkbox, then hold **Shift** and click the last one — every row in between is selected automatically.
5. (Optional) Open the **selected** dropdown next to the row count and click **Select all results** to extend your selection to every sort order that matches the current filters, including sort orders on other pages.
6. Open the **Actions** dropdown and select one of the following:
   * **Publish** — Makes every selected sort order available on the storefront.
   * **Unpublish** — Pauses selected sort orders without deleting them. Configuration is preserved and they can be republished at any time.
   * **Edit** — Opens the bulk edit modal so you can update shared fields across the selection.
   * **Duplicate** — Creates copies of each selected sort order with auto-generated names and codes. Duplicates are not published by default.
   * **Delete** — Permanently removes the selected sort orders. A confirmation dialog appears before the deletion runs.
7. When you're done, click **Actions** → **Done selecting** to exit selection mode.

## Selection scope

The dropdown next to the selection count shows how many sort orders are currently selected and lets you switch between two scopes:

* **Page selection** (default) — Only the rows you ticked are included.
* **All results** — Every sort order matching your current search, filters, and sort is included, even rows on other pages. The count shows the full filtered total.

To narrow an **All results** selection, click **Unselect all** from the same dropdown and re-tick individual rows.

<Tip>
  Combine filters with **Select all results** to act on a precise slice. For example, filter by status **Active** and unpublish the entire match in one click when a campaign ends.
</Tip>

<Warning>
  **Delete** is permanent. If you only want to pause a sort order, use **Unpublish** so you can republish later without rebuilding metrics, priority rules, or segmentation settings.
</Warning>
