Ok I know it\'s might be a silly question or you may think it was asked dozen times. but either I am desperate and missed something or this is some unique problem. Anyway, I nee
To expand on @helgatheviking's answer, I tried that and it sorted in (descending) alphabetical order but only if the Alphabetical option was chosen on the drop-down because of the if ( 'alphabetical' == $orderby_value )
condition.
This is mod which sorts in ascending alphabetical order by default, the differences being the condition if ('alphabetical' == $orderby_value || 'menu_order' == $orderby_value)
and $args['order'] = 'ASC'
add_filter( 'woocommerce_get_catalog_ordering_args', 'custom_woocommerce_get_catalog_ordering_args' );
function custom_woocommerce_get_catalog_ordering_args( $args ) {
$orderby_value = isset( $_GET['orderby'] ) ? woocommerce_clean( $_GET['orderby'] ) : apply_filters( 'woocommerce_default_catalog_orderby', get_option( 'woocommerce_default_catalog_orderby' ) );
if ( 'alphabetical' == $orderby_value || 'menu_order' == $orderby_value ) {
$args['orderby'] = 'title';
$args['order'] = 'ASC';
}
return $args;
}
add_filter( 'woocommerce_default_catalog_orderby_options', 'custom_woocommerce_catalog_orderby' );
add_filter( 'woocommerce_catalog_orderby', 'custom_woocommerce_catalog_orderby' );
function custom_woocommerce_catalog_orderby( $sortby ) {
$sortby['alphabetical'] = __( 'Alphabetical' );
return $sortby;
}
The site I was working on has grouped products so I made sure they were alphabetical as well...
add_filter( 'woocommerce_grouped_children_args', 'custom_grouped_children_args' );
function custom_grouped_children_args( $args ){
$args['orderby'] = 'title';
$args['order'] = 'ASC';
return $args;
}
