Generating themes for different item offers is described. An item listing system receives a request for a target item and generates themes for the target item by grouping offers based on their properties. The item listing system then determines a display order for the themes based on user behavior data. The item listing system then communicates the themes and display order to a client device from which the request was received, causing the client device to display an interface including at least a subset of the themes, arranged according to the display order. Themes including offers determined to be more appealing to the user of the client device are displayed more prominently relative to other themes. The item listing system is further configured to dynamically modify the display order in real-time based on offer changes, such that the interface continuously provides correct information describing available offers for the target item.
