1. Our current order has that variants in an arbitrary order with the black colour set as the default value.
2. Which This configuration is reflected in our e-Commerce site.

3. However, if we wanted to make colour selection easier for our customers by displaying the variants in alphabetical order, we would have to remove out-of-order variants.:
4. Add them back in order...

5. Until we get our desired order.
That is would be a tedious exercise if we have a lot of products with a many variants. We have now enabled you to set the display order by easily dragging the attributes.
Step-by-step guide
First up, we need to switch on the manual sort option:
1. Log into your CMS
2. Navigate to Settings → Feature Management → Products & Categories.
...
10. Click Show Existing Child Product Attributes.
11. You should now be able to drag each attribute to until you have your desired order.
12. When you have your product attributes ordered correctly, click Save & Exit.
13. As you could see in our example, our Default Child (Red) is not first in the list.
We have done that deliberately . We have a lot of red chairs in stock and want to encourage our customers to purchase that colourto show you that the Default Child will take precedence in the attribute drop-down list.
14. Now, head to your website and locate the Master Product you reordered.
15. In our example, you can see our Product Attributes match the sort order we configured in our Master Product Maintenance window.
16. You will also notice that our Red chair still shows as the Default product attribute, as per our Product Master maintenance settings.
17. As expected, our drop-down attributes list is ordered alphabetically, with our Default Child variant highlighted.
