Shopify CSV: "Title can't be blank"

What's happening: A new product's first row has no Title. Only variant and image rows (rows 2+ of the same Handle) may leave Title empty.

How to fix it

1. Find the first row of each Handle and make sure Title is filled.
2. Check the rows aren't out of order: if a variant row comes before its product's first row, Shopify treats it as a new product with no title.
3. Sort by Handle without breaking each product's row order, then re-import.
