sort product catalog

How can I set the entire catalog (on the shop page and on category pages) by a custom field value?

My custom field is created by ACF and is called event_date.

Here’s what I tried:

function products_pre_get_posts( $query ) {
	
	// do not modify queries in the admin
	if ( is_admin() || !$query->is_main_query() )
		
		return $query;
	
	// only modify queries for 'event' post type
	if( isset($query->query_vars['post_type']) && $query->query_vars['post_type'] == 'product' ) {
		
		$query->set('orderby', 'meta_value');	
		$query->set('meta_key', 'event_date');	 
		$query->set('order', 'DESC'); 
		
	}
	
	// return
	return $query;

}

add_action('pre_get_posts', 'products_pre_get_posts');

This sorts the shop page but not the category pages.
