FAQ
How do I use this plugin?
After activation, go to Options Studio → Product Sorting. You’ll see all your products listed. Simply drag and drop them into your preferred order, then click “Save Changes”.
Can I sort products within specific categories?
Yes! Click on the “By Category” tab, select a category from the dropdown, and arrange products within that category.
Will this work with WooCommerce shortcodes?
By default, sorting only applies to category archive pages. To enable sorting for shortcodes like [product_category], go to Settings and enable “All Product Loops”.
What happens if I deactivate the plugin?
Your custom product order is preserved in the database. Reactivating the plugin will restore your sorting. However, deleting the plugin will permanently remove all sorting data.
My custom order isn’t showing on the shop page. What do I do?
- Go to Appearance → Customize → WooCommerce → Product Catalog
- Set “Default Product Sorting” to “Default sorting (custom ordering + name)”
Can I sort variable products and their variations?
This plugin sorts parent products only. Variation order within a variable product is controlled by WooCommerce’s built-in variation sorting.
Is this plugin compatible with page builders?
The plugin works with standard WooCommerce templates. Some page builders have their own product query methods that may not use the standard sorting. Contact your page builder’s support for compatibility questions.
