WordPress / WooCommerce developer for finalizing the online store.

Hello!

I have experience working with WordPress + WooCommerce, specifically with custom product sorting schemes and resolving conflicts between sorting, filters, and themes.

How I see the solution to the problem

The issue here is not with the menu_order itself, but with the conflict of sorting logic with the current filters (likely: custom WP_Query, pre_get_posts, or JS filtering of the theme).

My approach:
…
analysis of the current implementation of filters (PHP + JS)

identification of the conflict point between custom sorting and filters

correct integration of manual sorting through menu_order

preservation of the full functionality of existing filters

without updating the theme (if possible) or with minimal intervention

Possible solutions (after analysis):

refinement of the existing plugin without breaking the filters

correct implementation through pre_get_posts considering the filters

use of a proven lightweight plugin adapted to the theme

or targeted adjustments to the theme (without global changes)

What you will receive as a result

real manual sorting of products on the "All Fabrics" page

the ability to raise priority items up

preservation of all existing filters and store logic

stable operation after WooCommerce updates

I am ready to review the site, quickly find the cause of the conflict, and propose an optimal solution. After the initial analysis, I will be able to provide timelines and costs.

Hello, Vladislav!
I have experience in developing and refining online stores on the WordPress platform using WooCommerce. I understand the importance of functionality and user convenience. I can help with product setup, order processing, and improving the overall design of the site. I am also ready to provide assistance and support for a month. If needed, I will record a video tutorial explaining how to work with the site: administering pages, adding images, and managing content in your admin panel.

I suggest we discuss the project details. The price and deadlines will be determined after all clarifications.

Good day, I am a WordPress developer with extensive experience working with WooCommerce, I can complete your task.

I would suggest returning to a custom solution, for example, adding sorting by priority parameter.

In general, we need to discuss the task in more detail; I can start working today. I will be able to provide the final price and deadlines after a detailed discussion. My rate: $20/hour.

FABRIC. I will add to the admin panel for each product the ability to set the sorting order in the form of a number. On the store page, when a user simply enters and has not selected sorting (default sorting), products will be displayed first with a lower sorting number, then with a higher one, and finally — those for which sorting is not set at all. When a user selects, for example, sorting by price, everything will work as before — regular sorting by price.

Hello.
I will set up manual sorting of products in WooCommerce on the "All Fabrics" page with proper filter functionality.
I will choose a solution based on the analysis of the theme and existing plugins — either through code or a tested plugin, if that will be more stable.
Deadline: up to 3 days. Possibly faster, depending on the reasons for the issue.
I am ready to start immediately.

The task is clear: manual sorting of products in WooCommerce without disrupting the operation of existing filters.

There are several options for implementing sorting.

I have experience in implementing controlled sorting (through menu_order or meta-field) with correct integration into current filters and AJAX requests, without updating the theme and "conflicting" plugins. I can find the cause of the current conflict and propose a stable solution.

I am ready to review the site and discuss the details.

Wishing you health, Vladislav!

Recently, I did the same task for a website on WooCommerce. I am eager to take a look and help with this issue. I will be happy to receive your response and collaborate!

It can simply be done all custom filters on the page, meaning there will be a page that lives separately and that's it.

Hello! I have reviewed the issue. The conflict arises because the custom plugin overrides the global WooCommerce query, which interferes with the operation of the filters.

Here is how I propose to solve the task:

I will analyze how your current filters are implemented (AJAX or standard method).

Instead of heavy plugins that break the system, I will set up the sorting logic through the menu_order parameter. This will allow you to simply drag and drop products in the admin panel, and it will not affect the operation of the filters by price or categories.
…
I will check compatibility with your theme and fix the conflict in the code.

I have experience working with WooCommerce and resolving conflicts between plugins. I am ready to do everything this evening through a test copy or directly (with a backup) so as not to stop the store's operation.

Good day!
I have extensive experience working with WordPress + WooCommerce and custom product sorting.

I understand the problem: the standard menu_order without proper integration with the theme or WooCommerce filters indeed works incorrectly, and conflicts with filtering are a typical situation. I can:

correctly implement manual product sorting (through menu_order or a separate meta field);

… integrate it specifically for the "All Fabrics" page;

maintain full compatibility with existing filters, AJAX, and URL parameters;

either refine the already created plugin and resolve the conflict, or implement a solution without third-party plugins (through WooCommerce hooks).

I work carefully, without "breaking" the theme and future updates.
I am ready to quickly look at the site and propose an optimal solution.

I would be happy to collaborate 👍

Good day!
For accurate assessment and implementation, you need:
- a link to the website (or staging),
- the name of the theme,
- information about the filtering plugin.

FABRIC. Hello!

The problem of conflict between custom sorting (menu_order) and filters is familiar to me.

Usually, this happens because the sorting script "overwrites" the main query (WP_Query) and loses the filtering parameters (tax_query).

Here’s how I will solve it:

I will not reinvent the wheel, but will check why the standard WooCommerce setting "Default sorting (custom + name)" does not work, which allows dragging products in the admin panel.
…
If the theme blocks this — I will fix the priorities of hooks in woocommerce_get_catalog_ordering_args.

If a plugin is needed — I will set it up (for example, Simple Custom Post Order or similar), but with the condition of checking: if filters are active — sorting does not break the output.

I am ready to start immediately. I have extensive experience with WooCommerce.

Hello!
I have experience working with WordPress + WooCommerce, specifically with custom product sorting logic, menu_order, WP_Query, and resolving conflicts with filters (AJAX / non-AJAX).

How I propose to solve the task

I will analyze the current theme and the implementation of filters (hooks, pre_get_posts, custom queries).

… I will identify the cause of the conflict between manual sorting and filters.

I will implement correct manual sorting of products on the "All Fabrics" page:

either through menu_order with proper filter support,

or through a neat custom solution (without "breaking" the existing logic),

without mandatory theme updates.

If possible — without heavy third-party plugins, or with improvements to an already created plugin.

I will check the functionality with all available types of sorting and filtering.

Result

The ability to manually prioritize products.

Correct operation of filters and sorting without conflicts.

Clear and stable logic for further use.

Work format

I can work either as a one-time task or take the site for further support and improvements.

I work carefully with existing code, without "hacks."

I am ready to look at the site after access is provided and quickly assess the scope of work and deadlines.

Yes, everything is quite simple. It can be implemented with a plugin. Simple, but not fast.
I will do it if I see.
