 * Trying to figure out the way of changing products sorting for specific category
   only. P.S. Would be nice to have it built-in actually. Deciding on it within 
   the category itself would be a great addition.
 * Anyway, any snippets of functions I am finding, don’t work.
 * Anyone have any suggestions, please?

 * Hey [@kramarz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kramarz/),
 * You might want to try using shortcodes instead, as explained here:

 * Oh yea, aware of that one.
 * While a way to make it happen, it would be more of a complication than actual
   solution.
 * So guess, at this stage there’s no filter function I could use to make it work
   with specific category archive?
 * Cheers.

 * Here’s where sorting is done/output: [https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce/blob/c38e0e69e9c72935f1c2507d629368d67e4154f9/includes/wc-template-functions.php#L981-L1021](https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce/blob/c38e0e69e9c72935f1c2507d629368d67e4154f9/includes/wc-template-functions.php#L981-L1021)
 * So should be able to use some hooks within there.
