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' ) );

add_filter( 'woocommerce_default_catalog_orderby_options', 'custom_woocommerce_catalog_orderby' );

Answer 2

$catalog_orderby_options = apply_filters( 'woocommerce_catalog_orderby', array(
        'menu_order' => __( 'Default sorting', 'woocommerce' ),
   here   ->  'title' => __( 'Sortierung nach Titel, A–Z', 'woocommerce' ),
        'popularity' => __( 'Sort by popularity', 'woocommerce' ),
        'rating'     => __( 'Sort by average rating', 'woocommerce' ),
        'date'       => __( 'Sort by newness', 'woocommerce' ),
        'price'      => __( 'Sort by price: low to high', 'woocommerce' ),
        'price-desc' => __( 'Sort by price: high to low', 'woocommerce' )
    ) );

Answer 3

woocommerce_clean() is deprecated, use wc_clean() instead.

Answer 4

To expand on @Vikas_Gautam's answer and modify it to sort by post title, you would do the following:

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 ) {
        $args['orderby'] = 'title';
        $args['order'] = 'DESC';
    }

    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;
}

Take a look at the Codex for WP_Query sort parameters.

Answer 5

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;
}
