Sorting by avabaility – variants are listed last

Hey?@bozarl,

Thanks for getting in touch with us about WooCommerce Extra Product Sorting Options! I’m happy to help out here.

Sorting is based on the stock availability of parent products rather than using the stock available at the variation level.

A workaround to get the variable products to appear before the out of stock products would be to set an available stock for the parent product in the Inventory tab by enabling “Manage stock” and setting the available stock for all variations. You can still manage stock at the variation level.

Would you please let me know if this helps you out? Please do not hesitate to let me know if you have any other questions!

Best,
Erica

Hey @bozarl,

Hi @bozarl ,

you might want to have a look at some code I wrote that takes care of updating the product stock level to be the sum of all variations stock levels.
