WooCommerce is a great plugin for WordPress, enabling you to turn a standard WordPress install into a fully functional eCommerce shop.
However I found there is no options to modify the default sorting options provided in WooCommerce categories, however after some digging I found that you can easily remove options from WooCommerce with some simple code which you can add to your themes functions.php:
Remove Sorting Options
// Modify the default WooCommerce orderby dropdown
//
// Options: menu_order, popularity, rating, date, price, price-desc
function my_woocommerce_catalog_orderby( $orderby ) {
unset($orderby["price"]);
unset($orderby["price-desc"]);
unset($orderby["date"]);
unset($orderby["rating"]);
unset($orderby["popularity"]);
unset($orderby["menu_order"]);
return $orderby;
}
add_filter( "woocommerce_catalog_orderby", "my_woocommerce_catalog_orderby", 20 );
the code above includes ability to remove all options, so edit it so that it only removes the options you need to remove. Here is a key to clarify what each option is for:
price - Sort by price: low to high
price-desc - Sort by price: high to low
date - Sort by newness
rating - Sort by average rating
popularity - Sort by popularity
menu_order - Sort by Default sorting
Add New Sorting Options
Even more exciting is the ability to add your own sorting options, the example below shows how to add a new option to sort products alphabetically:
//Add Alphabetical sorting option
function my_alphabetical_woocommerce_ordering( $sort_args ) {
$orderby_value = isset( $_GET['orderby'] ) ? woocommerce_clean( $_GET['orderby'] ) : apply_filters( 'woocommerce_default_catalog_orderby', get_option( 'woocommerce_default_catalog_orderby' ) );
if ( 'alphabetical' == $orderby_value ) {
$sort_args['orderby'] = 'title';
$sort_args['order'] = 'asc';
$sort_args['meta_key'] = '';
}
return $sort_args;
}
add_filter( 'woocommerce_get_catalog_ordering_args', 'my_alphabetical_woocommerce_ordering' );
function my_custom_woocommerce_catalog_orderby( $sortby ) {
$sortby['alphabetical'] = 'Sort by name: alphabetical';
return $sortby;
}
//add option to dropdown
add_filter( 'woocommerce_catalog_orderby', 'my_custom_woocommerce_catalog_orderby' );
//add options to admin panel
add_filter( 'woocommerce_default_catalog_orderby_options', 'my_custom_woocommerce_catalog_orderby' );
There you have it! An easy way to modify the sorting options of WooCommerce.
