Expand product sorting in WooCommerce

More Sorting Options for WooCommerce Premium extends WooCommerce with a broad selection of product sorting choices. It gives store owners more ways to organize product listings and lets them control how sorting options are presented on the frontend.

Alongside the available WooCommerce sorting choices, the add-on includes sorting by product information such as title, slug, SKU, stock quantity, comments, total sales, product ID, dates, and author. It also includes options for no sorting and random sorting.

Use a wide range of sorting criteria

The available sorting options include:

• Title from A to Z or Z to A
• Slug from A to Z or Z to A
• SKU in ascending or descending order
• Stock quantity in ascending or descending order
• Number of comments in ascending or descending order
• Total sales in ascending or descending order
• Product ID in ascending or descending order
• Last modified date from oldest to newest or newest to oldest
• Date in ascending order
• Author in ascending or descending order
• No sorting
• Random sorting

This selection lets you match the sorting menu to the information that matters most for a particular WooCommerce catalog. For example, a store can provide sorting by SKU, stock quantity, total sales, or the date products were modified.

Add custom meta sorting

In addition to the listed sorting choices, you can add your own custom meta sorting options. This allows product listings to be organized using custom product metadata available in the store.

Custom meta sorting can be useful when the standard WooCommerce criteria do not reflect the way a catalog is maintained. It provides another way to connect the frontend sorting menu with product information used by the store.

Arrange and manage frontend options

The plugin lets you rearrange the order of sorting options on the frontend, including the default WooCommerce options. This helps you place commonly used choices where shoppers can find them more easily and create a sorting menu that follows your preferred order.

The Premium edition also enables you to rename default WooCommerce sorting options or completely remove them. These controls help you adapt the sorting menu to the terminology and product organization used by your store.

Set a default sorting option

Added sorting options can work as default options. The default product sorting setting is available through WooCommerce > Settings > Products > Display > Default Product Sorting. Additional sorting option text can be changed through WooCommerce > Settings > More Sorting.

Installation and setup

Install the Premium plugin in the WooCommerce store where expanded product sorting is needed. Open the More Sorting options, review the available choices, add any custom meta sorting options, and arrange the frontend order. You can then rename or remove default sorting options and choose a default product sorting choice through WooCommerce settings.

More Sorting Options for WooCommerce Premium is suited to stores that want more detailed catalog navigation without limiting sorting to WooCommerce’s default choices.
