Custom alphabetical artist order code not working

Hi!

I have a code in my online shop that creates a dropdown to order Artists in alphabetical order from A-Z and Z-A.

I have created a custom field in the Products -> attributes section and I am trying to create a code that would alphabetise by Artists in my Woocommerce shop.

However it’s broken at some point during an update. So I’m looking for help on how to fix it. Below is the code I’m using and link to the page.

The funny thing is that the code works from shop page 2 onwards! Page one (and a few products on page two) are the products that don’t align with the alphabetical order. So if you choose drop down Artists Z-A the first three pages are correctly in alphabetical order. I’ve also tried a few other similar codes and the problem is the same.

Any advice would be much appreaciated!
