doesn't work for variable products

By artcolor on January 11, 2025

Good plugin but if it doesn't work for variable products is of no use! Please fix it!

The best plugin ever

By Martín (caparros07) on June 12, 2024

Thanks at all! I don´t understand how WooCommerce doesn´t have any f.. option to alphabetical sorting or reset the manual sorting in the backend products panel.

Genius

Does not work with the Blocksy Theme

By (Kit Coda) on November 22, 2023

I've been able to use this plugin on themes other than Blocksy. It's unfortunate since the Blocksy Free Theme is one of the best to use for Woocommerce.

"Sale" sorting ONLY works for simple products

By vahanavagyan1 on May 17, 2023

Hi guys,

Why is the "Sale" sorting limited to ONLY simple products? This is bad design — basically customers missing on all on-sale items that are variations.

We'll have to remove your plugin solely due to this problem.

This said, any plans including variations? And when?

It works

By Dipto Nath (diptonath) on December 17, 2021

Outstanding!!

By Orlof's (magestik12) on October 13, 2021

This plugin in super light, easy to use, straight forward, and it actually works! (unlike so many others) Thank you, Dev, for putting this together! It took me longer to write this little review then to set up and utilize the plugin.

What I was looking for...

By Advansys on August 31, 2021
