 * Puh….so many issues with your plugin….
 * 1: Why did the order of variations change only because of a CSV-import?
    2: Why
   is the order in the backend not matching the order in the frontend?** 3: Why 
   cant i change the order?

 * Its a fresh installation!
    There are no plugins involved! There are only three
   products!

 * Hi [@alauer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alauer/),
 * The order of the dropdown options on the front end of your shop will follow the
   same order that you configured your attributes in.
 * In the video that you attached you are changing the order of the actual variations
   on the “Variations” tab, but that will not affect the front-end order. What you
   need to do is change the order of the values in the “Attributes” tab of the product.
 * If the attributes are global, you will need to change the order in the Global
   Attributes page, and not in the product itself.
 * If the order of said attributes was changed through the CSV import that you did,
   that would have affected how said variations were displaying on the front-end.
