# Variable Product Dropdown Order

 * I’ve created variable products and set up attributes. For example, I put in Small,
   Medium, and Large.
 * On the front-end of the site, in the dropdown, it appears that the options are
   being alphabetized (they currently appear in order: L, M then S). I’d like to
   be able to set the order manually.
 * What is the best way of doing so?
 * I’ve tried switching the order of the attributes in the set up page, and I’ve
   tried switching the attribute order on the products page but it is not working
   for me.
 * Am I missing something? Is my theme overriding it perhaps?
 * Thanks for your help.

 * looking at the code, it seems that woocommerce sorts terms by menu order. Assuming
   this taxonomy is defined as a “select” as opposed to text input, check the terms
   under the product attributes section. You can drag them around to reorder them
   there.

 * Thank you for looking into that. I will play around with that again, with your
   advice in mind. Hopefully, I can get this figured out.
