How to sort items on a shopping list and arrange them yourself

To change how a list is sorted, open the list menu, choose Sort by and pick Categories, Alphabetically or Custom. With Custom sorting, you can drag items anywhere you like.

Choose how to sort

Each list has its own sorting, so you can group a big weekly list by category and keep a short list in your own order. Categories groups items by category, Alphabetically orders them by name, and Custom keeps them in the order you set.

Order of bought items

Bought items move to the bottom of the list, and they go back to the top when you uncheck them. On your phone, you can choose Chronologically for them: you’ll find it at the bottom of the Sort by window. The most recently checked-off item then comes first, so it’s easier to find an item you checked off by mistake.
