How Do I Add a Sort Option in WooCommerce?

Last updated on January 21, 2023 @ 11:27 am

Adding a sort option to your WooCommerce store can be a great way to let your customers find the products they’re looking for quickly and easily. There are a few different ways you can add a sort option to your store, and in this article, we’ll show you how to do it.

The first way you can add a sort option to your WooCommerce store is by using the built-in sorting options. To do this, go to your WordPress dashboard and click on WooCommerce > Settings.

On the Settings page, click on the Products tab and then on the Display tab. Under the Default Sorting Options section, you can select the sorting options you want to enable for your store.

The second way you can add a sort option to your WooCommerce store is by using a plugin. There are a few different plugins that you can use, but we recommend using the WooCommerce Product Table plugin. This plugin lets you add a sortable table of products to your store, which makes it easy for customers to find the product they’re looking for.

To use the WooCommerce Product Table plugin, first, you need to install and activate it. For more information, see our step by step guide on how to install a WordPress plugin.

Once the plugin is activated, go to WooCommerce > Settings and click on the Products tab. On the Products page, click on the Product Tables tab. Under the General Settings section, select the sorting options you want to enable for your table.

The third way you can add a sort option to your WooCommerce store is by using a custom code snippet. If you’re not comfortable with code, then we recommend using one of the other two methods instead. But if you are comfortable with code, then you can use this code snippet to add a custom sort option to your WooCommerce store:

add_filter( 'woocommerce_get_catalog_ordering_args', 'custom_woocommerce_get_catalog_ordering_args' );
function custom_woocommerce_get_catalog_ordering_args( $args ) {
$args['orderby'] = 'title';
$args['order'] = 'asc';
return $args;
}
PRO TIP: If you are not familiar with code or are not comfortable making changes to your site’s code, we recommend finding a WooCommerce expert to help you add a sort option to your WooCommerce shop.
