 * Hi,
 * Can you please tell me how to set First product category ?
 * I want to use group by First Category in settings, but I can’t realize how to
   make category first. I need MERCH category first, but on some products it’s last:
   [https://ibb.co/7y6X1gF](https://ibb.co/7y6X1gF) I don’t know why…
 * God knows I’ve already tried, I even deleted categories and products…but I can’t
   find a way to move MERCH category in first place.
 * Thank you!
 * UPD. Oops doesn’t this is just an alphabetical order?!🤣

 * The shipping Packages plugin is relying on the order of the categories in WooCommerce.
   
   I’ve found the following article that explains how categories can be reordered:
