    Hi,

    I can’t seem to find the right sort order for the filter terms in a WooCommerce product property (taxonomy).

    I rearranged the property order manually (custom – default woocommerce functionality) but the order of the checkboxes doesnt change in the filter on frontend.

    Is there a way to use a filter/hook to order them like they’re ordered in the backend?

    Thanks

    Not as such. If data terms are stored as a taxonomy (product category is a taxonomy), they cannot be sorted, as taxonomy data are stored as serialized data (multiple terms, like an array) per post (which term in the array would you sort by?). Even if only one term per post is used, WordPress still stores them like this.

    You MIGHT be able to do what you want with PHP, but I am not sure if it is possible. You would have to use that PHP in this filter:

    OK, too bad as you can rearrange them by drag & drop in the wordpress (woocommerce) backend I would think the order is stored somewhere 🙂

    Any way to custom order? It’s only four items so not a lot of work…not ideal but ok for now.

    I do not know if a feature like this will be developed in V3, but for now we are not adding features to V2.

    What filter can I use to add data property or edit the html of the checkbox list?

    That way I can add sort order and sort with jQuery…

    I am sorry, but we do not have a hook/filter for that. As with many other feature enhancements, it is coming with V3.

    I’ll be happy to contribute.
