The column layout is different between Storefront and Store Management views.
In Store Management there are 5 columns. In the Storefront (Public View) there is only 4 columns.
I have spent a lot of time trying to make a collection look even and complete just to view in the Storefront and see everything skewed and uneven due to the difference in columns
Oh I just posted the same ask in the collections! Yeah, it would make life a little easier to be able to visually arrange it as it will be seen. On the desktop it’s 4 across regardless of window width and on my phone I see it 2 across. Either way, 4 across on the back end would simplify the process some when manually arranging the products.
