Attribute Table

    The Attributes table is one big pain in the tush to try and manage.
    1. When an attribute string appears on 2 or more pages there is no way to get it ordered properly so the attached products will display properly
    ex.
    At the product level it look like this below
    4XL, Small, Medium, 3XL, 2XL, Large, XL should obviously be
    Small, Medium, Large, XL, 2XL, 3XL, 4XL
    If the attributes at the product level were drag and drop the attribute table order would not matter. Then the product would control the display properly.
    I am only testing WC and it is driving me up the wall. I feel sorry for those trying to use it daily. And 2,770 support items would support
    TOO COMPLICATED FAR TOO COMPLICATED. Even though it does a nice display on the front end.

    To avoid that problem on page 1 or 2 you can increase the number of items per page using screen options. If you have products that have 2,770 options for a single attribute you have more issues than just needing to display them on a single page to order them.

    When setting up an attribute you do have the option to custom order, name, name(numeric) or ID. The whole point is at that point it is global. You do not have to go into every product and manually reorder them.

    Selling 2,770 t-shirts and want to have largest to smallest? No problem just reorder the attribute vs having to go into 2,770 products and manually reorder them because it is done on the product level…

    yes I am well aware of the ordering effect. Was not aware could adjust number displayed per page. I had to add a option after the rest of the set was done and it put it at the end of the variation set.

    Thanks for the screen options tip. I don’t look at those enough. Will fix that.

    The screen options allowed me to reorder what I need done. If Woo would print the variation post title on the order, I would not need any variations in most cases as I use descriptive variation titles so I know how to match up to the actual variations.
