Need a shortcode to present products the order the id is provided

    Hello guys,

    I use this example of shortcode [products ids”1,2,3,4″] to present a number of products on a page.
    I would like to present the products in the order the ids are provided. The “orderby” option doesn’t provide any option that doesn’t “mess” with the order of the ids provided.

    My client wants to provide products by a field I provided in the backend. The only solution that will fix this is by using the sortby=”menu_order” and tell my client to reorder the products by going and finding each single product from the dashborad>products and by setting menu order to the products.

    Am I missing any option that could avoid the extra step of providing menu order to the already provided products?

    Thanks

    The shortcode will not take the order of products in the shortcode itself into the account and the sortby=”menu_order” workaround is the only one I’m aware of and was going to suggest.

    The default behavior might be changed with some custom coding but most likely you’d have to hire a developer for that.
