Introduction

More Sorting Options for WooCommerce plugin extends WooCommerce by adding more sorting options.

Settings

All settings are accessible from “WooCommerce > Settings > More Sorting”.

After adding custom sorting or custom meta sorting you may want to set it as default – this can be done in “Appearance > Customize > WooCommerce > Product Catalog > Default product sorting”. Plugin’s custom sorting will be automatically added to the list there as soon as you enable it.

  • slug: A to Z (alphabetically)
  • slug: Z to A (alphabetically)
  • SKU: low to high
  • SKU: high to low
  • stock quantity: low to high
  • stock quantity: high to low
  • total sales: low to high
  • total sales: high to low

  • discount: high to low
  • discount (percent): low to high
  • discount (percent): high to low
  • last modified date: oldest to newest

  • author ID (descending)
  • product ID (ascending)
  • product ID (descending)
  • number of comments (ascending)

When sorting by SKU, you can choose if you want sort SKUs as numbers or as text.

Default WooCommerce Sorting

In this section you can rename or remove any of WooCommerce default sorting options.

Rearrange Sorting

If you want to change the order of sorting options on frontend (in drop down box), you can do that in this section.

Default order is:

Standard WooCommerce sorting:

menu_order
popularity
rating
date
price
price-desc

menu_order is for “Default sorting”.

Plugin’s custom sorting:

date-asc
title-asc
title-desc
name-asc
name-desc
sku-asc
sku-desc
stock_quantity-asc
stock_quantity-desc
total_sales-asc
total_sales-desc
modified-asc
modified-desc
author-asc
author-desc
product_id-asc
product_id-desc
comment_count-asc
comment_count-desc
rand
none

After that custom sorting by meta is added (e.g. custom_sorting_1-asc etc.).

Remove Sorting

This section lets you completely remove all sorting from frontend.

Advanced

Some themes (e.g. Avada) replaces default WooCommerce sorting with theme’s custom. With theme’s custom sorting some (or all) plugin’s option may not function. You can restore default WooCommerce sorting here. If your theme is not listed – try Other option or select some theme from the list – it may be that your theme uses same functions to replace default WooCommerce sorting.

Theme
Possible values: Avada; Avada (no CSS); Revo; Revo (no CSS); Other.
Default: Avada
