Give customers more ways to browse your catalog
WooCommerce’s default sorting options cover the basics, but sometimes customers want to browse differently — alphabetically, randomly, or by other criteria beyond price and popularity. Extra Product Sorting Options adds these additional sorting methods directly to your shop and category pages.
Who it’s for
Useful for store owners who want to give shoppers more flexibility when browsing products, or who want to showcase their catalog differently — such as randomizing product order to give every item equal visibility over time.
What you get
- Alphabetical sorting. Let customers sort products A–Z or Z–A directly from the shop page.
- Random ordering. Shuffle product display order so no single item is always shown first.
- Works alongside default WooCommerce sorting. New options appear right alongside existing sort choices like price and popularity.
- No coding required. Enable additional sorting options directly from your WooCommerce settings.
How it works
Once activated, the plugin adds new sorting choices to your shop and category page dropdown menus. Customers can select these options just like they would any other WooCommerce sorting method — no extra clicks or separate interface required.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will this replace my existing WooCommerce sorting options?

Random ordering is refreshed periodically rather than on every single page load, to keep performance smooth.
Will this work with my theme?
Yes, since it integrates with WooCommerce’s standard sorting dropdown, it works with any properly coded WooCommerce theme.
Is this plugin free?
Yes, Extra Product Sorting Options is available for free on WordPress.org.
