Overview

Category Products Reorder for WooCommerce adds a Reorder screen under the WooCommerce menu. Pick a product category, drag the products into the order you want and the order is saved automatically. Each category keeps its own order, so the same product can sit first in one category and last in another.

The saved order is applied to the category page whenever the default WooCommerce sorting is selected, both on classic themes such as Storefront and on block themes using the Products by Category template. Product Collection blocks filtered to a single category with the default sort follow the same order. Shoppers can still switch to price, popularity, rating or latest sorting.

Products from sub-categories that appear on a category page can be positioned too, new products appear after the ones you have ordered, and a Reset button returns a category to the default WooCommerce order.

02

Why store owners choose it

Put the products you want to sell first at the top of each category page.

Every category keeps its own order, independent of the others.

Works on classic and block theme category pages.

Drag, drop and it is saved; no settings to configure.

Everything happens on one screen: WooCommerce → Reorder.

Features

Drag and drop ordering

Arrange the products of a category by dragging them in a list; each drop saves the new order automatically.

Per-category order

Each product category has its own order. Products of sub-categories that appear on the category page can be positioned too.

Classic and block themes

Applied on category archives in classic themes and on the block Products by Category template, plus Product Collection blocks filtered to one category.

Shopper sorting still works

The custom order is used with the default sorting only, so price, popularity, rating and latest sorting keep working.

Plan ahead

Draft, pending, private and scheduled products are listed with their status so you can position them before launch.

Reset any time

One click removes the custom order of a category and returns it to the default WooCommerce order.

Lightweight

Positions are stored in a small indexed table and applied with a single join, and cleaned up when products or categories are deleted.

Frequently asked questions

Where is the order used?

On product category pages whenever the default sorting is selected: classic theme archives, the block Products by Category template, and Product Collection blocks filtered to a single category with the default (menu order) sort.

Can customers still sort by price or popularity?

Yes. When a shopper picks another sorting option, that sorting is used instead of your custom order.

Does it change the global product menu order?

No. Positions are stored per category in the plugin’s own table, so each category can have a different order and your products are not modified.

What happens to new products?

Products without a saved position appear after the ordered ones in WooCommerce’s default order until you place them.

Does it work with block themes?

Yes. It was tested with a block theme’s Products by Category template and with the Product Collection block.

How do I activate my licence and get updates?

Your licence key is emailed after purchase and is also shown in My Account → Downloads. In WordPress go to Plugins → WpExperts Hub Licences, paste the key and click Activate licence. New versions then appear on the normal Dashboard → Updates screen. A key can be active on as many live sites as you purchased; staging and local development sites do not count.

How do I get support?

Email support@wpexpertshub.com with your order ID.
