<p>Dynamic Sorting is a lightweight WooCommerce plugin that links up with your Google Analytics account and allows you to sort products based on a website’s usage statistics. Out the box, it adds two ordering options – sort by views and sort by visits.</p>
<p>Google Analytics sorting options can be hidden from the user facing sorting dropdown. This means you can set the default sorting order to feature your shop’s most popular products without your customer knowing.</p>
<p>There is also a premium version of the plugin called <a href="http://pbweb.co.uk/sort-by-ga-shop" rel="nofollow ugc">Sort by Google Analytics</a> that lets you sort any post type by any Google Analytics metric. WooCommerce Dynamic Sorting works with the product post type and supports sorting by pageviews and visits.</p>
<p><strong>The Indexer</strong></p>
<p>For performance reasons the plugin operates off a locally downloaded index of Google Analytics data. The indexer runs twice a day and you can trigger it manually through the Dynamic Sorting Settings section in the Catalog tab in WooCommerce Settings. Once the indexer has run at least once, the plugin is ready to use.</p>
<p>To increase the batch of the indexer to 400, add the following code to your plugin or theme:</p>
<pre><code>add_filter( 'woocommerce_dynamic_sorting_indexer_data_batch_size', create_function( '', 'return 400;' ) ); </code></pre>
<p><strong>Requirements</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>WordPress 3.1+</li>
<li>WooCommerce 1.0+ plugin installed</li>
<li>PHP cURL extension</li>
<li>PHP JSON extension</li>
<li>Google Analytics Account</li>
</ul>

<p>Extra Product Sorting Options for WooCommerce provides options that extend the default WooCommerce orderby options on the shop page. You can optionally set a new name for the default sorting (helpful if you’ve used this to create a custom sorting order), and can enable up to <strong>5 new sorting options</strong>: alphabetical, reverse alphabetical, on sale, review count, and availability product sorting. You can also remove core sorting options, or remove the sorting dropdown completely.</p>
<blockquote>
<p><strong>Requires: PHP 7.4, WooCommerce 3.9+ and WordPress 5.6+</strong></p>
</blockquote>
<h4>Features</h4>
<p>Includes options to:</p>
<ul>
<li>rename default product sorting (i.e., change to “Our Sorting”)</li>
<li>enable alphabetical product sorting</li>
<li>enable reverse alphabetical sorting</li>
<li>enable on sale sorting (<strong>note</strong>: works only for simple products)</li>
<li>enable sorting by inventory / availability</li>
<li>enable sorting by review count (most reviews to least)</li>
<li>remove core sorting options</li>
</ul>
<h4>Rename Default Sorting</h4>
<p>You can customize your product sorting order on your shop pages – <a href="http://www.sellwithwp.com/create-woocommerce-custom-product-sorting/" rel="nofollow ugc">here’s a handy tutorial</a> to do so. However, many shop admins like to then rename this from “Default Sorting” to something more descriptive, such as “Our Sorting” or “Our Selection”. You can optionally enter a new name for this sorting order if desired.</p>
<h4>Adding Sorting Options</h4>
<p>When you create a customized sorting order, you lose the ability to sort products alphabetically. This plugin gives you the ability to add new sorting options to list products by title A to Z or in reverse order (Z to A).</p>
<p>Want to show items with the highest stock first? You can enable sorting by availability, which will enable sorting from high stock to low stock (See FAQ for more details). You can also sort by the number of product reviews.</p>
<p>You can add the option to sort items by sale status – there’s a sorting option to show “On Sale” items first in the shop catalog. Please note that only simple products can be sorted by sale status, and variable products will display mixed with non-sale products.</p>
<h4>Remove Sorting Options</h4>
<p>You can remove the core sorting options as well! If all sorting options have been removed, the sorting dropdown will become hidden on shop pages.</p>
