It is not possible to sort the order of price variants in a product.

If the price depends on the quantity of products added to the cart - "quantity range", the list of prices is always sorted according to this condition in order from the smallest to the largest.

The author of Virtuemart thought it was convenient and transparent and did so, but this is a serious mistake. Why?

if I want to export all products with prices using the RoCSVI component, the export will always display only the last price in the product list.
if I could manually sort these prices, there would be no problem - in the export I would display the last price that I set manually, not the one that the author of Virtuemart imposed on everyone

Of course, but if Virtuemart offers a sorting function for these prices, then why can't I change it?
If I put the base price at the end, I would see the base price in the export instead of the one with a discount for 10 products in the cart.

The only way to get around this is to add the same base price everywhere but with a discount.
Unfortunately, this approach causes another problem. there is no possibility to apply an additional general discount on everything. this is perhaps one of the most annoying problems with this VM.

hazael. Explain it to RO CSVi
Most time the 1st price is the main price. SO using last is a mistake for me

In "most cases", it's not the same as in "any case". These prices are not sortable and in some cases they are in reverse order or even randomly (compare the order of prices in the first screen and in the second - are different).
I manually change the order of price variants in the product, save the settings and after refreshing I don't see any changes. This is a bug in Virtuemart.

Of course, I reported the same problem to CSVI. At the moment, the situation is stalemate.
Each side thinks that everything is ok, it's not our problem, it's theirs - it's kind of absurd

It's not a real ro CSVI problem or bug but it can add the option in the virtuemart plugin
I have another problem with ro csvi about children of children do not inherit from main product.
So all this cas should be solved in RO CSVI. or not ?

I guess I'll start writing in bold about what's important...
I'm not writing about the CSVI issue, just a bug in the Virtuemart backend.

I use CSVI for export, but CSVI will not fix Virtuemart errors. Price sorting in Virtuemart does not work!!!.
Add any additional price save and change its order - not possible. I save the changes and nothing changes.

What is this price reorder feature for (I marked it in the picture)?? Is it just a beautiful decoration of the store?

I have purchased a membership.

I reported a bug but no one is responding there. Does Germany now have a long weekend in May and everyone has gone on vacation?  ;D
