Duplicating a collection allows you to copy an existing collection while maintaining the sort order of the products. In other words, the order of the products in the new collection will be the same as the old collection.
Note: The products in the new collection are technically the same as the products in the original collection. If you need to make duplicates of the actual products, then just let us know and we'll discuss enabling the product duplication feature. This feature has some caveats so we like to explain it thoroughly before enabling it, to avoid any surprises.
Importing and Exporting of Sort Orders
If you prefer to work offline in Excel or Google Sheets, you can export the sort order of the products for any manually sorted collection, change the sort order by setting a position number for the products in the spreadsheet, and then import the sort order back into Collection Manager.
There is also a trick where you can import the sort order of one collection, into another collection, and any matching products will use the imported sort order.
