Reorder order columns

Hi,

It looks like you’re trying to reorder the columns on the WooCommerce “My Account” orders page. However, in WooCommerce, this filter woocommerce_account_orders_columns is used to customize the columns displayed in the customer’s “My Account” orders table. It doesn’t directly affect the order columns in the WooCommerce admin order list.

To reorder columns in the WooCommerce admin order list, you need to use a different approach. You can use the manage_edit-shop_order_columns filter hook to modify the columns displayed in the admin order list. Here’s an example of how to do this:

function custom_reorder_admin_order_columns( $columns ) {
    $new_columns = array(
        'order-status'  => __( 'Status', 'Text Domain' ),
        'order-number'  => __( 'Number', 'Text Domain' ),
        'order-actions' => __( 'Actions', 'Text Domain' ),
        'order-total'   => __( 'Total', 'Text Domain' ),
        'order-date'    => __( 'Date', 'Text Domain' ),
    );

    // Reorder the columns as desired
    $columns = array_merge( $new_columns, $columns );

    // Remove unwanted columns
    unset( $columns['cEmail'] );
    unset( $columns['oNotes'] );
    unset( $columns['insured'] );
    unset( $columns['cNotes'] );

    return $columns;
}
add_filter( 'manage_edit-shop_order_columns', 'custom_reorder_admin_order_columns' );

This code snippet reorders the columns in the admin order list as you specified and removes the unwanted columns. Make sure you place this code in your theme’s functions.php file or in a custom plugin.

After adding this code, you should see the columns reordered as you’ve defined in your function.

@owadud655 that worked well! Thanks a lot, I made a few changes and I’m pasting the code here if someone needs it.

function wc_reorder_order_columns($columns){
    $new_columns = array(
        'order_number'  => __( 'Order', 'Text Domain' ),
        'order_date'    => __( 'Date', 'Text Domain' ),
        'order_status'  => __( 'Status', 'Text Domain' ),
        'cEmail'  => __( 'Email', 'Text Domain' ),
        'oNotes'  => __( 'Order Notes', 'Text Domain' ),
        'insured'  => __( 'Insured', 'Text Domain' ),
        'cNotes'  => __( 'Customer Notes', 'Text Domain' ),
        'order_total'   => __( 'Total', 'Text Domain' ),
        'wc_actions' => __( 'Actions', 'Text Domain')
    );
    $columns = array_merge( $new_columns, $columns );
    return $columns;
}
add_filter( 'manage_edit-shop_order_columns', 'wc_reorder_order_columns' );

Hi,

You’re welcome! That’s great to hear it worked well for you.
