I think there are even videos that show you how to do it.

I believe weโ€™d need the` order` from `wp_termmeta`. Can that be done via the url as well? * Thanks for the help ๐Ÿ‘ Mickey. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[WooCommerce] Categories ordering not working on REST API on 3.6.3](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/categories-ordering-not-working-on-rest-api-on-3-6-2/) * Thread Starter [mic365](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mic365/) * (@mic365) * [7 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/categories-ordering-not-working-on-rest-api-on-3-6-2/#post-11566514) * Iโ€™m not sure I understand you. * Do you mean we should add a plugin that alters `get_the_term_list` behavior?

Iโ€™ll focus on my case. * Problem: * After ordering the categories on the back end, if you issue a categories request to the REST API, the categories are returned ordered alphabetically. * Way to reproduce: 1. Install a fresh WP using wp cli. 2. Install WC plugin using wp cli. 3. Define several categories on the backend and order them, not in an alphabetical order. 4. Issue a categories request to the REST API (e.g. [https://domain.com/wp-json/wc/v2/products/categories?consumer_key=ck_123&consumer_secret=cs_123](https://domain.com/wp-json/wc/v2/products/categories?consumer_key=ck_123&consumer_secret=cs_123)) 5. Problem: the categories are returned in an alphabetical ordered. * Environment: * ``` $ vagrant --version Vagrant 2.2.4 $ cat Vagrantfile | grep config.vm.box config.vm.box = "johannesHome/bitnami-wordpress" # inside vagrant guest os $ uname -a Linux pc-test 3.16.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.16.51-2 (2017-12-03) x86_64 GNU/Linux $ wp core version 5.2 $ wp plugin status woocommerce Plugin woocommerce details: Name: WooCommerce Status: Active Version: 3.6.3 Author: Automattic Description: An eCommerce toolkit that helps you sell anything.
