 * There really needs to be a way to sort long lists of variations.
    I’ve been hunting
   for a solution to this for some time now.
 * No plugin or code snippet seems to exist anywhere to achieve it and Woocommerce
   only supports drag and drop.
 * I know that front-end variable product sorting (the dropdowns) are decided by
   attribute order, but in the back-end the attributes list is an absolute mess.
   Especially after adding a few new attributes to an already existing variable 
   product.

 * Long lists of attributes are indeed a bit messy – anything above 50 seems to 
   become tricky.
 * I don’t know of a good way to handle this, beyond splitting the product up into
   multiple products.
 * We do have a suggestion for it on our ideas board, which you’re more than welcome
   to vote for:

 * Otherwise, you could develop something yourself, or work with a developer to 
   do so.
