How Do I Manually Sort in WooCommerce?

Last updated on January 19, 2023 @ 11:53 am

When you first open WooCommerce, you’re presented with a default sorting option for products in your shop. This is the order in which products are displayed on your shop page. You can, however, change this default sorting option to better suit your needs.

There are two ways to manually sort products in WooCommerce:

1. Sort products using the drag and drop method

This is the easiest way to sort products. Simply go to WooCommerce > Products and then hover over the product you want to move. Click and hold down the left mouse button, then drag the product up or down to its new position.

2. Sort products by changing the menu order

This method is a bit more complicated, but it’s still easy to do. First, go to WooCommerce > Products.

Then, click on the “Sort by Date” dropdown menu and select “Menu Order”. Next, click on the Update button.

Now that Menu Order is selected, you can drag and drop products just like before. The difference is that when you’re done, you need to click on the Update button again to save your changes.

To sum it up, there are two ways how to manually sort in WooCommerce: either using drag and drop method or by changing menu order.

PRO TIP: If you are not careful, manually sorting in WooCommerce can break your site. Make sure you know what you are doing before you attempt to manually sort in WooCommerce.
