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 alphabetical, reverse alphabetical, on sale, and random product sorting options. **Requires: WooCommerce 2.1+** = Features = Includes options to: - rename default product sorting (i.e., change to "Our Sorting") - enable alphabetical product sorting - enable reverse alphabetical sorting - enable on sale sorting (thanks to [Bryce Adams](http://bryceadams.com/order-products-sale-woocommerce/) for the idea) - enable randomized product sorting = Rename Default Sorting = You can customize your product sorting order on your shop pages - [here's a handy tutorial](http://www.sellwithwp.com/create-woocommerce-custom-product-sorting/) 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. = Adding Sorting Options = 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). 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. Finally, you can add a "randomized" sorting option just for fun - any time this sorting is selected, the product order will be randomized when the shop page is viewed. = More Details = - See the [product page](http://www.skyverge.com/product/woocommerce-extra-product-sorting-options/) for full details and documentation - View more of SkyVerge's [free WooCommerce extensions](http://profiles.wordpress.org/skyverge/) - View all [SkyVerge WooCommerce extensions](http://www.skyverge.com/shop/) - View the FAQ for some tips. == Installation == 1.

You can use this plugin to simply add alphabetical, reverse alphabetical, and randomized sorting to your shop pages. Any of the settings are entirely optional. = How do I set my new sorting option as the default? = When you check to enable these options, save your Product settings. You'll now be able to select your new options as a default under the "Default Product Sorting" list. = Can I change the sorting label in the shop dropdown? = Yep! You can use the [Say What plugin](https://wordpress.org/plugins/say-what/) to change the text - for example, you could change the label that says "Sort by name: A to Z" to "Sort alphabetically".
