Default sorting SKU changes frontpage widgets query

Hi,

What is this “New in” widget you are referring to?

Sorry it’s not a widget. It’s part of Storefront’s homepage template. It’s the storefront_recent_products:

<?php
  /**
  * Functions hooked in to homepage action
  *
  * @hooked storefront_homepage_content      - 10
  * @hooked storefront_product_categories    - 20
  * @hooked storefront_recent_products       - 30
  * @hooked storefront_featured_products     - 40
  * @hooked storefront_popular_products      - 50
  * @hooked storefront_on_sale_products      - 60
  * @hooked storefront_best_selling_products - 70
  */
  do_action( 'homepage' ); 
?>

Hum, Ok I think I got it now.
Please add this to your functions.php

add_filter( 'woocommerce_default_catalog_orderby', function ( $default ) {
	if ( ! is_shop() ) {
		return $default;
	}
	return 'sku-asc';
} );

This will make the default sorting to SKU programmatically, but only on shop page.
Now you can set the default sorting to most recent.

Hi and thanks for the response,

this didn’t really solve the issue but worked as a workaround. By changing the above filter to this:

add_filter( 'woocommerce_default_catalog_orderby', function ( $default ) {
  if ( ! is_shop() ) {
    return 'date-asc';
  }
  return $default;
} );

Anytime ??

Great! Thanks for letting me know.
I’ll close the ticket then but if you have more questions let me know.

See you
