Using Woocommerce Elementor order by stock quantity. Also, help with general sorting problems. We also need to sort order stock. Our clients, clients often need large quantities of products for their projects.

If a client can’t afford a bespoke shoopping website, we recommend woocommerce for wordpress. This is compatible with Elementor Pro and Rank Math.

There is no sort by widget in Elementor Pro.

We need to sort our products! Our customers need to be able to see the most expensive or cheapest products. Here is what we did to solve the problem.

In your child theme functions.php add.

If you don’t have a child theme read this https://elementor.com/blog/wordpress-child-theme/

// Creating Shortcode for Product Sorting
add_shortcode('wc_sorting','woocommerce_catalog_ordering');

Drag the Shortcode widget onto the Elementor Pro page builder and type [wc_sorting]
The sort by drop-down will appear to your customers.

Remove the Reviews from the dropdown

We have not enabled reviews on our products, so there are no reviews to be sorted by.
woocommerce elementor sort order by stock quantity

// Edit WooCommerce dropdown menu item of shop page//
// Options: menu_order, popularity, rating, date, price, price-desc
 
function my_woocommerce_catalog_orderby( $orderby ) {
    unset($orderby["rating"]);
    return $orderby;
}
add_filter( "woocommerce_catalog_orderby", "my_woocommerce_catalog_orderby", 20 );

Woocomerce Sort Order by Stock Values

Some clients need large volumes of our products. Endless scrolling is not helping the customer experience.

Alphabetically sort numerical values Why? 100 before 2

We did install some of the popular sorting plugins but for some reason, they sorted stock alphabetically. 1,100,2,300 This doesn’t help our customers at all.
