Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 6:00 pm

If you’re using WooCommerce to sell products on your WordPress site, you may have noticed that the default product sorting options leave something to be desired. By default, WooCommerce sorts products alphabetically, which isn’t always ideal. In this article, we’ll show you how to add custom sorting options in WooCommerce.

WooCommerce is a powerful eCommerce plugin for WordPress. While it’s fairly easy to use, there are some things that can be a bit tricky to figure out, like how to add custom sorting options.

There are a few different ways you can add custom sorting options in WooCommerce. One way is to use the built-in sorting options and then add a plugin that allows you to customize the sorting order.

Another way is to edit the code yourself and add the custom sorting options directly. We’ll show you both methods so you can choose the one that’s best for you.

PRO TIP: Sorting in WooCommerce can be tricky and may not always work as expected. Be sure to thoroughly test your sorting before making it live on your site.

Method 1: Using the Built-In Sorting Options

WooCommerce comes with a few built-in sorting options that you can use to sort products. To access these options, go to WooCommerce > Settings > Products.

On this page, you’ll see a section called “Default Product Sorting”. In this section, you can choose how you want your products to be sorted by default.

There are four built-in product sorting options:

  • Sort by price: This option will sort your products from low to high prices by default.
  • Sort by price (descending): This option will sort your products from high to low prices by default.
  • Sort by average rating: This option will sort your products from the highest rated to the lowest rated by default.
  • Sort by popularity: This option will sort your products from most popular to least popular by default.
