Product Variations not showing up in order

[jessparvin]

I have a woocommerce site and I have a question about my product variations. Specifically, on this page: https://equineoutfitters.biz/product/back-on-track-eq3-microfiber-riding-helmet/

You’ll notice that the drop down for sizes does not list the sizes in order. 7 1/8 is smaller than 7 1/4 but it is listed after - I really want these to be listed in order from smallest to largest (so 7 1/4 should be last since its the largest). That is how I entered them in the product variation section in the backend, but no matter what I do they are listed this way on the front end.

Hello @jessparvin,

Thanks for writing in!

To achieve the order of the sizes, you can add the code to X > Theme Options > JS:

jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
    $("#pa_sizes").html($("#pa_sizes option").sort(function(a, b) {
        if (a.value == "") return;
        if (a.value == 7) return;
        var a = parseInt(a.text.match(/\d+/), 10),
            b = parseInt(b.text.match(/\d+/), 10);
        return a < b ? -1 : 1;
    }));
    $("#pa_sizes option:first-child").attr("selected", true);
});

Hope that helps.

Thank you. That worked for that product. But now I have another product that I also want to list sizes from smallest to largest, but the sizes are not numbers. When I put the attributes (or variables) in the order I want them to display, it is automatically changed to an alphabetical listing. I need “pony” to be listed first and “large horse” last.

Hello There,

In most case, your product attributes default sorting order is by Name. To resolve your issue, please do the following:

• Go to Products > Attributes within wp-admin
• Select the Attribute (e.g. Size) to edit.
• You’ll noticed an option “Default sort order”. Select the option “Custom Ordering” so that you can drag and drop the attributes according to your desired order.
• And Save the changes.

Hope this helps.
