Hey there!
The links in the screenshot are links to different order statuses – they don’t usually change order as they’re just there to help you out.
To change the order, you’d need to get into the WooCommerce code. That’s a fairly complex development topic. I’m going to leave it open for a bit to see if anyone is able to chime in to help you out.
I can also recommend the following places for more development-oriented questions:
* WooCommerce Slack Community: https://woocommerce.com/community-slack/
* Advanced WooCommerce group on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/advanced.woocommerce/
I was faced with similar challenge and this was how i managed to solve it. You can put the code below in your function.php or go ahead and make it a plugin
function rename_order_status_type($order_statuses) {
/*the order you want the status to be in. If you want to keep the position of a certain status just leave it blank. In this case the first status will retain its position*/
$key_order = array("","wc-pending","wc-processing","wc-cancelled","wc-failed","wc-awaiting-approval","wc-transit","wc-dispatched","wc-completed");
return reorder_associate_arr($key_order, $order_statuses);
}
function reorder_associate_arr($key_order, $order_statuses){
$new_arr = array();
$keys = array_keys($order_statuses);
$index = 0;
foreach ($key_order as $key){
if(trim($key) == "")
$new_arr[$keys[$index]] = $order_statuses[$keys[$index]];
else
$new_arr[$key] = $order_statuses[$key];
$index++;
}
return $new_arr;
}
add_filter( 'woocommerce_register_shop_order_post_statuses', 'rename_order_status_type');
