When exporting data, metafield columns previously appeared in the order returned by the Shopify API, with no regard for which definitions were pinned in your store’s custom data settings. This made it harder to find the most important metafields in large exports.
🚀 What’s New#
- Smarter metafield column ordering – within each metafield group (e.g. product metafields, variant metafields), columns now appear in this order: SEO metafields (
title_tag,description_tag) first, then pinned definitions ordered by their pinned position in your Shopify admin custom data settings, then remaining unpinned metafields, then Shopify standard metafields (namespaces starting withshopify) alphabetically. - Applies to all object types – products, variants, orders, customers, collections, articles, blogs, companies, locations, and draft orders all respect the new ordering.
