 * Hi Folks,
 * How can I sort the category in the sidebar by name?
    Because now Audi and Alfa
   Romeo are at the bottom of the list.
 * Thanks in advance.

 * Hi,
 * Yes this is the correct one.
 * See the screenshot for the settings.

 * You might try “Recount terms” and “Delete transients” at WooCommerce > System
   Status > Tools, but I am not hopeful for that.
 * You could try temporarily deactivating other plugins and switching to the default
   theme, to be able to rule out any conflict, but I am not hopeful for that either.
 * Your settings look good. I loaded up the plugin with only WooCommerce active.
   I got a bunch of errors showing, so I turned off error notices. Then I was unable
   to get the category display working at all, using the same settings as you. Its
   not practical to debug other authors’ plugin code.
 * You could try asking here:
    [https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/collapsing-categories](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/collapsing-categories)
   There doesn’t seem to be much action there, but there is a better chance that
   the plugin author will see your issue.
 * If you can’t live with it like it is, consider looking round for a similar plugin.

 * None of it solves the problem. I concluded that in woocommerce – product > categories,
   the categories are not sorted by name.
