Changing the order of variations

Hello Guys,

I am having the same problem. I wanna order my size from smallest to largest.

I edited the “Default Sort Order” for “Custom Ordering” but did not find where exactly I should “drag and drop” to organize them. It would be at each product editing page? (I tried no success)

In addition, I was looking forward to have a size box that could be crossed when the size is not available. Any chance of getting that with this plugin? or maybe any other plugin available ?

I’m having a simular problem:

I have 60 variants, where I wanna change the order completely:

These 60 variants are showen on 4 pages:
(60 variants (Open / Close) « ‹ 1 of 4 › »)

I wanna move 8 products from the top, to the end of the complete list.

Alternativly, I would be happy, if I just could change the order of the options in one of my 3 dropdowns on the fronpage…

Hi, I finally found a solution to order the product variations (in my case, alphabetical) in the frontend (combobox). Here is the code:

add_filter('woocommerce_dropdown_variation_attribute_options_html', function ($html) {
    $xml = simplexml_load_string($html);

    $select = array('id'               => (string)$xml->attributes()['id'],
                    'name'             => (string)$xml->attributes()['name'],
                    'attribute_name'   => (string)$xml->attributes()['data-attribute_name'],
                    'show_option_none' => (string)$xml->attributes()['data-show_option_none']);

    $options = array();
    foreach($xml->option as $option) {
        $options[] = array('text'     => (string)$option,
                           'value'    => (string)$option->attributes()['value'],
                           'selected' => (string)$option->attributes()['selected'] === 'selected');
    }

    usort($options, function ($a, $b) {
        return strcmp($a['value'], $b['value']);
    });

    $xml = simplexml_load_string('<select/>');
    $xml->addAttribute("id", $select["id"]);
    $xml->addAttribute("name", $select["name"]);
    $xml->addAttribute("data-attribute_name", $select["attribute_name"]);
    $xml->addAttribute("data-show_option_none", $select["show_option_none"]);
    
    foreach ($options as $option) {
        $child = $xml->addChild('option');
        $child->value = $option['text'];
        $child->addAttribute('value', $option['value']);
        if ($option['selected']) {
            $child->addAttribute('selected', 'selected');
        }
    }

    return $xml->asXML();
});

Cheers,
Miguel.

I forgot to say when the attributes are set to global, the attribute table organization controls the attributes in the front end display. If you have an attribute linked to multiple products. Only one product will be displayed in the order you set the attribute table most likely. Others will have all the common attributes but not in the same order.
Too bad the product level can’t override the attribute table.
Global should mean accessible globally and then the product level arrangement control the front end display. But apparently that is too logical.

I’m not sure if @sunflowerbikinis is having the same problem I’m having, but what you’re describing does not appear to be working for me. I have the attribute set to custom ordering; I have the variations dragged-and-dropped into the correct order on the editing screen (and have verified that they’re saved and stay in that order if I reload the page), and yet on the front end product page, the items in the dropdown are sorting alphabetically, not in my specified order.

I was concerned that I may have overridden this setting with a hook in my theme but I verified that’s also not the case. There may still be some conflict I’m missing somewhere with plugins or something, but I can confirm that on the site I’m working on right now, this is not working as intended.
