Ordering WooCoomerce products within the product catalogue (Shop, Category and tag pages) is quite straightforward.

• Navigate to Appearence > Customise
• Select WooCommerce
• Select Product catalogue
• In Default product sorting, select your order preferences, there are several options, most of which are self explanatory
  • Default sorting (Custom ordering + name)
  • Popularity (sales)
  • Average rating
  • Sort by most recent
  • Sort by price (asc)
  • Sort by price (desc)

  

  What does “Default sorting (Custom ordering + name)” mean?

  Under Product data > Advanced is an entry field: Menu order. By default this is set to 0 (zero).

  

  • Any products with the menu order set to 0 will appear first, ordered alphabetically by Product Title.
  • Remaining products will be ordered by menu order
