<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>

WCAPF – Ajax Product Filter for WooCommerce


Purchased the pro version but realised it didn't have the feature I was looking for, so I requested for a full refund. However, I only got a partial refund because the seller said that they will not refund the gateway fee. It is not fair to consumers because it wasn't stated anywhere else on the website when I purchased. In the T&C page it also mentioned full refund without any clause.



Those interested can go to archive.org to find their T&C page in case they updated it.


No Full Refund


I tested recently most of the filter plugins and many of them have problems with product ordering, pagination and "and/or" relations. WCAPF was the only solution that covers al the problems I had before. Even the free version is much more powerful than most over the other premium solutions.



Mainul, keep up the great work!
