Fixing Magento 2 Custom Options Pagination Limitation -- Instantly Sort All Options with PrivateDevops_CustomOptionsFix

The Problem: Pagination Breaks Sort Order

If your Magento 2 catalog includes products with many custom options -- think colour swatches, sizes, or add-ons -- you have probably hit this frustrating admin bug. Magento paginates the option-values grid in the product editor, so drag-and-drop reordering stops at the page boundary.

For example, with 100 option values displayed 20 per page, you cannot move an item from page 2 to page 1. Bulk reordering becomes a tedious, error-prone chore.

Bottom line: The default grid pagination prevents catalog managers from reordering all option values in one go, which is a major productivity killer for stores with configurable products.

The Solution: PrivateDevops_CustomOptionsFix

PrivateDevops_CustomOptionsFix is a lightweight, upgrade-safe Magento 2 module that lets you configure how many custom option values are displayed at once (default 200, adjustable to 50, 300, 1000, or more). All values load on a single page -- no more pagination, no more drag-and-drop headaches.

• Displays every custom option value in one sortable grid
• Zero core code changes -- 100 percent upgrade-safe
• Compatible with Magento 2.4.8 and earlier (Magento 2.4.9+ ships a native fix)
• Developed and supported by Private DevOps LTD

Why Does This Matter?

Sorting option values is not just cosmetic. The order affects how options appear to customers, can influence conversion rates, and may even break product logic (for example, default option selection or price ordering).

Without the fix:

• You cannot control the exact display order when more than 20 values exist.
• Option management is tedious and error-prone.
• Bulk-updating sort orders is virtually impossible.

With PrivateDevops_CustomOptionsFix:

• All option values load on one page -- easy, visual, drag-and-drop sorting.
• A single configuration field frees your admin from pagination limits.
• No hacks required -- just a future-proof module with open-source code.

Tip: This is especially valuable for stores that sell car mats, apparel, customisable gifts, or anything else with large option sets.

Installation Guide

1. Download the module from GitHub (link below).
2. Copy the files into your Magento installation:

app/code/PrivateDevops/CustomOptionsFix

3. Enable the module:

php bin/magento module:enable PrivateDevops_CustomOptionsFix
php bin/magento setup:upgrade
php bin/magento cache:flush

If you are running in production mode, also execute:

php bin/magento setup:di:compile
php bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy -f

Configuration & Usage

Once installed and enabled, set the maximum number of option lines at:

Stores > Configuration > Catalog > Catalog > Edit Product MAX Option Lines

• Default: 200
• Change to any value you need: 50, 500, 1000, etc.

When you edit a product (Catalog > Products > Edit), all option values will load in a single grid, ready for instant sorting and bulk editing.

Tip: Setting very high values (1000+) may slow the admin for products with massive option sets. Test with your real data.

Troubleshooting Tips

• If changes do not appear, clear the browser cache and run:

php bin/magento cache:flush

• Check the current configuration value:

php bin/magento config:show catalog/customoptions/pagesize

• To uninstall:

php bin/magento module:disable PrivateDevops_CustomOptionsFix
rm -rf app/code/PrivateDevops/CustomOptionsFix
php bin/magento setup:upgrade
php bin/magento cache:flush
