Custom Product Sorting For More Than One Category

    Hi,

    Does anyone know how we can manually sort products that are assigned to more than one category on a per category basis?

    For example products A and B are assigned to cats C and D. In cat C we want the order to be A then B and in Cat D we want the order to be B then A.

    Currently, as I understand it, it’s only possible to manually sort the products in cat C if we change the order in cat D this doesn’t have any effect. Is there any way to do this without using a third party plugin?

    Regards,

    James Isles

    @jesseslam Either a third party plugin or custom code would be needed to provide different manual ordering of products from category to category. WooCommerce works off of how WordPress itself sorts, either by age or by manual sorting (but also can sort by price). The manual sorting is a number set on the post/product itself and that is how WordPress sorts. In order to have category specific sorting, you would need much more complex data per product and the logic to provide the sorting.

    Hi Jesse,

    Thanks for the reply. I am amazed this is something they haven’t integrated as it’s kind of a core feature.

    Regards,

    James
