Troubleshooting

If the sort order you changed is not working on your Shop page, please check below is set properly.

Go to WordPress Admin > Appearance > Customize
Select “Woocommerce” from left and go to “Product Catalogue”
Now here check for “Default Product Sorting”.
Make sure it is set to “Default sorting (custom ordering + name)”

Some products are missing when sorted by categories? Follow the solution below:

The workaround solution for this is to simply go to Admin > Rearrange Products > Sort by Categories and then select each category one by one from the Dropdown, and DON’T click the “Save” button. This will update all categories metadata into database one by one and will fix your issue. This is just a one-time process and it will fix your issue forever.
What is happening here is that the categories that you have not organized, don’t have metadata(for sort order) in the database. And because of that, some products don’t appear on those categories.

If you have huge list of product and the plugin is not saving the sort order changes

Then it may be issue with PHP configuration done on your server for memory_limit and max_execution_time.
Ask your web hosting provider to increase memory_limit and max_execution_time and try updating sort order after that.

This will fix the issue.

This is just what I was looking for. I had tried other plugins and they were clunky and did not work. This is so easy and work good from the get go.

Highly recommended

The plugin does exactly what it says, but -1 star because the products to be rearranged don't include a thumbnail, which would make things a lot easier
