Updating Categories Order in Bulk (Alphabetically)

Hello there,

Thanks for reaching out!

I understand that managing a large number of categories can be a daunting task, especially when it comes to organizing them alphabetically.

There is no built-in option within WooCommerce that can help you achieve this, and it would require custom code or a plugin.

Kindly note that custom code is outside our scope of support, however, you can try see if the code snippet provided here works for you.

It works as expected on my end, here is the outcome after adding this to my site:

You need to add the code to your child theme’s?functions.php?file or via a plugin that allows custom functions to be added, such as the?Code snippets?plugin.

Please don’t add custom code directly to your parent theme’s functions.php file as this will be wiped entirely when you update the theme.

Hope this helps!

Hello @roxannestoltz,

Thanks for your quick response.

It looks like the snippet you provided above cannot work in my case. This fixes the order on the backend and does not update the term order on the database.

However, thanks for your time and response. I will further search the internet for similar cases to see what others have done.

Best Regards,

Hi @toulip ,

Thanks for providing an update!

That sounds like a plan ??

If you are unable to find a solution for your use case, should you have any questions related to development and custom coding, your best bet is to ask on any of these channels for support.

We’re lucky to have a great community of open-source developers for WooCommerce, and many of our developers hang out there, too:

• WooCommerce Developer Resources Portal
• WooCommerce Advanced Facebook group
• WooCommerce Developer Slack Channel
• Hire a?WooCommerce Expert

Hope this helps!
