Hi!  
Just want to get the products from a list in the same order as displayed in BO.  
Is this possible?

Right now were fetching it like this:  
var productList = \_productListService.Get(currentPageTypeDefinition.AlternativeProductList).Items  
.SelectMany(x =\> x.ActiveVariantSystemIds)  
.Select(variant =\> \_productItemViewModelBuilder.Build(\_variantService.Get(variant), currentPage.WebSite, \_cartService.Currency, WebsiteSettings.Instance.ShowProductQuantityBoxInProductLists, WebsiteSettings.Instance.ShowBuyButtonInProductLists))  
.Where(item =\> item != null)  
.ToList();

Litium version: 6.3.7

You could try retrieving the product list, checking if it’s a StaticProductList, inspect if it’s property ProductsSortOrder has any values (it won’t if it’s never been sorted) and use that list to sort the original list.
