Ordering WooCommerce Products by Price

Looking to sort WooCommerce products in ascending order of price by default?

This can be done in two ways.

Method 1

Use the products shortcode and specify the orderby attribute’s value as price.

[products orderby="price"]

Method 2

If your theme/plugin is already using the [products] shortcode like the Products List component of Oxygen, woocommerce_shortcode_products_query filter can be used to modify the query.

Add the following code snippet:

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['meta_key'] = '_price';
        $args['orderby']  = 'meta_value_num'; 
    }

    return $args;
}

Note: The above applies to all instances of the [products] shortcode.
