 * 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.
