TL;DR

AI summary of the plugin's readme

This plugin is for WooCommerce shop owners who want more control over the product sorting dropdown on their shop pages. It solves the problem of limited default sorting options by letting store admins rename the default sort, add new sorting methods like alphabetical or on-sale, and remove unwanted core sorting options.

  • Rename default sorting label
  • Enable alphabetical product sorting
  • Enable reverse alphabetical sorting
  • Enable on-sale product sorting
  • Sort by availability/stock level
  • Sort by review count
  • Remove core sorting options
  • Hide sorting dropdown entirely

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Extra Product Sorting Options for WooCommerce

Nope. You can use this plugin to simply add new sorting options to your shop pages. Any of the settings are entirely optional.
Yep! You can use the Say What plugin to change the text - for example, you could change the label that says "Sort by name: A to Z" to "Sort alphabetically". See the screenshots for an example. The text domain to use is woocommerce-extra-product-sorting-options.
Don't worry, it does :) It's possible to sort by stock, but this will work for parent products rather than using the stock available at the variation level. You can set this under Product Data > Inventory by enabling "Manage stock". Set the available stock for all variations, and this will be used to sort the item. You can still manage stock at the variation level. If you don't manage your stock, you should disable this option - it will simply work as an alphabetical sort if all products are just "In Stock" without inventory managed.
Simple products and variable products use two different "keys" to indicate if they're on sale. As a result, we can't order products using two different meta keys, so we've used the key that indicates a simple product's sale price in this plugin. We don't anticipate changing this in the foreseeable future, as we've spent a couple hours trying to get the custom search query to work, but WooCommerce core adds search parameters that conflict with it, and we haven't found a suitable work-around.
Yes you can! Join in on our GitHub repository and submit a pull request :)
