Change the item order of a WooCommerce order in the admin

Hi @jwrobbs,

How do I reorder “items ordered” section of that page?

There is a little “arrow” in the Edit Order page that will let you sort items in asc/desc order, here’s a screenshot:

Other than this default functionality, you’d need to add a bit of additional custom code to achieve other sorting or drag and dropping. To modify the returned set of order items from a given order you’d want to look at the woocommerce_order_get_items filter hook. You will find the WooCommerce hooks reference here: https://woocommerce.github.io/code-reference/hooks/hooks.html.

The order items data structure is complex (it’s an array of associative arrays) and if you do require more help with the actual coding, we’d recommend consulting a developer or one of the customization experts listed at https://woocommerce.com/customizations/.

Cheers.

“The order items data structure is complex” Too true! I figured it out when I rebuilt the cart and checkout pages. But that looks like the hook I was looking form

Thanks!

You’re welcome! Good luck with getting this sorted out!

If you get stuck I’d also suggest asking in the #developers channel of the WooCommerce Community Slack where many Woo experts hang out.

Cheers.
