## Description

WooCommerce’s “menu order” is global: one product has one position, whatever the
category. This plugin gives each **category its own curated product order**:

 * A dedicated screen (Products  Category sort): pick a category, then order its
   products by **drag & drop** (thumbnail handle) or by **typing position numbers**—
   convenient for large categories.
 * The order applies on the category page in front, **unless the visitor selects
   an explicit sort** (price, popularity…) — their choice always wins.
 * Products without a saved position follow, sorted by menu order then title.
 * One term meta per category, no extra tables; uninstalling cleans everything.

## FAQ

### Does it change the default shop or search order?

No. Only category archives are affected, and only when the “default sorting” is 
active.

### Does it work with the Products (blocks) templates?

The order applies to classic WooCommerce category archives (the `woocommerce_product_query`
pipeline). Product Collection blocks configured with their own sort are not affected.

### Is there a limit?

The sorting screen loads up to 1000 products per category by default (filter `wcsw_products_limit`).
