Woocommerce products display in a different order on my website than they do on my RSS feed, which is a big problem because my programmer is creating a bot that reads from my Woocommerce Product RSS feed. I am trying to sort the output of my Woocommerce RSS feed so that it matches the order in which it is displayed on my website, and I don’t know where the option to do that can be found.

Thanks for your help!

The available orderby parameters are here:

I have only tested http://www.mysitename.com/feed/?post_type=product&orderby=date myself and that worked for me. You could try &orderby=menu_order if you have set a product menu order in the Product Data section, Advanced tab. Otherwise some experimentation may be needed.

Thanks so much… it worked! Sort of lol…but it only returned 10 items… :/ Know how to increase the limit of items?

Dashboard > Settings > Reading, then set both limits to a high value.
Note though, this will apply to anyone else who uses your feed and could overload their system, or it would allow a competitor to easily scrape your whole site in one go.

The usual and better way would be to code the bot to loop, fetching data a page at a time using:
&paged=2
(note paged not page)
and advance the paged number until no items are returned.
