description: >-
  Reorders
  [media](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/interfaces/Media)
  attached to a product, changing their sequence in product displays. The
  operation processes asynchronously to handle
  [products](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/objects/Product)
  with large media collections.


  Specify the [product
  ID](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/mutations/productReorderMedia#arguments-id)
  and an array of
  [moves](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/mutations/productReorderMedia#arguments-moves),
  where each move contains a media ID and its new zero-based position.


  > Note:

  > Only include media items that need repositioning. Unchanged items maintain
  their relative order automatically.


  The mutation returns a
  [`Job`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/objects/Job) to
  track the reordering progress. Poll the job status to determine when the
  operation completes and media positions update across all sales channels.
