Sort products by custom field – won’t work
-
Hello!
The problem I’m currently facing with is that with the code below (“My code“) and it won’t sort my products on the home page, by custom field “price“. References -> click here.
I would like to have first products to be sorted by date, and second one by price.
My code:
add_filter( 'woocommerce_shortcode_products_query', 'woocommerce_shortcode_products_orderby' ); function woocommerce_shortcode_products_orderby( $args ) { $standard_array = array('menu_order','title','date','rand','id'); if( isset( $args['orderby'] ) && !in_array( $args['orderby'], $standard_array ) ) { $args['price'] = $args['orderby']; $args['orderby'] = 'meta_value_num'; } return $args; }On the front page I have 2 products shortcode:
[products limit="12" columns="12" orderby="date" order="DESC" ] AND //this are the products, that I would like to sort by //custom field price [products limit="12" columns="12" orderby="price" order="desc" ]The result on the home page, the look excatly the same, you can see it on the image down below.
Can someone help me out please?
Best regards!

Just to note, packaged with WooCommerce come the WooCommerce Blocks.
Therefore, my suggestion is to go ahead with checking out the:
- All Products block, for adding products sorted by price, as showcased in the screenshot linked here (other options are available also)
- Newest Products block, for displaying products depending on when they were added (showcased here are the block’s options)
Feel free to check out the WooCommerce Blocks feature plugin further, via the link here.
I trust that points you in the right direction, but if you have more questions, let us know. We’re happy to help.
Hi @anastas10s,
If I understand Woocommerce Blocks the right way, I have to build page in wordpress editor like you can see it on the image below.
But that is not what I’m looking for. What I’m trying to achieve is to sort products by custom field (dicsount, price, sales etc.). You can see it on the code down below, that I’m trying to orderby discount.
[products limit="12" columns="12" orderby="discount" order="desc" ]So I think your solution won’t help me in my case.
Maybe you are wondering why I just won’t add the Woocommerce blocks, right? Because I’m trying to optimize website, to the lowest plugins possible. That’s why I want to sort products by custom field, that are displayed only by shortcode.
Hi there @rokaklih
Thank you for reaching back, clarifying things further.

For that, feel free to check out the On Sale Products block, instead, which offers these sorting and display options, as showcased here.

To clarify, WooCommerce Blocks are part of the core WooCommerce plugin, therefore no extra plugins are necessary.
The difference is that with WooCommerce version: 7.3.0, comes included WooCommerce Blocks package: 9.1.5; while, if adding the plugin as a standalone, version 9.4.1 is its current latest.
I trust that clarifies things further, but if you have more questions, let us know. We’re happy to help.
