More Sorting Options for WooCommerce plugin extends WooCommerce by adding more sorting options. With this plugin you can:
- Add custom sorting options to WooCommerce (sort by title, SKU, stock quantity etc.).
- Add sorting by custom meta field.
- Rename or remove default WooCommerce sorting options.
- Rearrange sorting order in drop down on frontend.
- Completely remove all product sorting from shop frontend.
All settings are accessible from “WooCommerce > Settings > More Sorting”.
After adding custom sorting or custom meta sorting you may want to set it as default – this can be done in “WooCommerce > Settings > Products > Display > Default product sorting”. Plugin’s custom sorting will be automatically added to the list there as soon as you enable it.

Rearrange Sorting
If you want to change the order of sorting options on frontend (in drop down box), you can do that in this section.
Default order is:
Standard WooCommerce sorting:
menu_order popularity rating date price price-desc
menu_order is for “Default sorting”.
Plugin’s custom sorting:
date-asc title-asc title-desc name-asc name-desc sku-asc sku-desc stock_quantity-asc stock_quantity-desc total_sales-asc total_sales-desc modified-asc modified-desc author-asc author-desc product_id-asc product_id-desc comment_count-asc comment_count-desc rand none
After that custom sorting by meta is added (e.g. custom_sorting_1-asc etc.).
Remove Sorting
This section lets you completely remove all sorting from frontend.
Advanced
Some themes (e.g. Avada) replaces default WooCommerce sorting with theme’s custom. With theme’s custom sorting some (or all) plugin’s option may not function. You can restore default WooCommerce sorting here. If your theme is not listed – try Other option or select some theme from the list – it may be that your theme uses same functions to replace default WooCommerce sorting.
