## Beskrivelse

Extra Product Sorting Options for WooCommerce provides options that extend the default
WooCommerce orderby options on the shop page. You can optionally set a new name 
for the default sorting (helpful if you’ve used this to create a custom sorting 
order), and can enable up to **5 new sorting options**: alphabetical, reverse alphabetical,
on sale, review count, and availability product sorting. You can also remove core
sorting options, or remove the sorting dropdown completely.

> **Requires: PHP 7.4, WooCommerce 3.9+ and WordPress 5.6+**

#### Egenskaber

Includes options to:

 * rename default product sorting (i.e., change to “Our Sorting”)
 * enable alphabetical product sorting
 * enable reverse alphabetical sorting
 * enable on sale sorting (**note**: works only for simple products)
 * enable sorting by inventory / availability
 * enable sorting by review count (most reviews to least)
 * remove core sorting options

#### Rename Default Sorting

You can customize your product sorting order on your shop pages – [here’s a handy tutorial](http://www.sellwithwp.com/create-woocommerce-custom-product-sorting/)
to do so. However, many shop admins like to then rename this from “Default Sorting”
to something more descriptive, such as “Our Sorting” or “Our Selection”. You can
optionally enter a new name for this sorting order if desired.

#### Adding Sorting Options

When you create a customized sorting order, you lose the ability to sort products
alphabetically. This plugin gives you the ability to add new sorting options to 
list products by title A to Z or in reverse order (Z to A).

Want to show items with the highest stock first? You can enable sorting by availability,
which will enable sorting from high stock to low stock (See FAQ for more details).
You can also sort by the number of product reviews.

You can add the option to sort items by sale status – there’s a sorting option to
show “On Sale” items first in the shop catalog. Please note that only simple products
can be sorted by sale status, and variable products will display mixed with non-
sale products.

#### Remove Sorting Options

You can remove the core sorting options as well! If all sorting options have been
removed, the sorting dropdown will become hidden on shop pages.

#### Translations

**The plugin text domain is**: `woocommerce-extra-product-sorting-options`

## Installation

 1. Be sure you’re running WooCommerce 3.5+ and WordPress 4.4+ in your shop.
 2. Upload the entire `woocommerce-extra-product-sorting-options` folder to the `/wp-
    content/plugins/` directory, or upload the .zip file with the plugin under **Plugins
    > Add New > Upload**
 3. Activate the plugin through the **Plugins** menu in WordPress
 4. Go to **WooCommerce > Settings > Products > Display**. The new settings are added
    after “Default Product Sorting”. If you enable more sorting options, you can set
    these as new defaults as well.
 5. View [documentation on the product page](http://www.skyverge.com/product/woocommerce-extra-product-sorting-options/)
    for more help if needed.

## FAQ

### Do I need to rename the default sorting?

Nope. You can use this plugin to simply add new sorting options to your shop pages.
Any of the settings are entirely optional.

### How do I set my new sorting option as the default?

When you check to enable these options, save your Product settings. You’ll now be
able to select your new options as a default under the “Default Product Sorting”
list.

### Can I change the sorting label in the shop dropdown?

Yep! You can use the [Say What plugin](https://wordpress.org/plugins/say-what/) 
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`.

### Why doesn’t sorting by availability work?

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.

### Why can’t on-sale sorting work for variable products?

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.

I was unsure if this would work with the latest Wordpress (6.9 now) due to another
reviewer, but it does. It is great that you can add and remove sorting options. 
Really helpful so thanks.

Thanks at all! I don´t understand how WooCommerce doesn´t have any f.. option to
alphabetical sorting or reset the manual sorting in the backend products panel. 
Genius

I've been able to use this plugin on themes other than Blocksy. It's unfortunate
since the Blocksy Free Theme is one of the best to use for Woocommerce.

Hi guys, Why is the "Sale" sorting limited to ONLY simple products? This is bad 
design — basically customers missing on all on-sale items that are variations. We'll
have to remove your plugin solely due to this problem. This said, any plans including
variations? And when?
