Woocommerce product catalog - extra default sorting options?

In Customise > Woocommerce > Product Catalog > default sorting options, none of the options really suit.
Is there a way to sort by a custom field instead?

I have code to add extra options to the woocommerce sort dropdown which uses the following:

$args['orderby'] 	= 'meta_value_num';
 $args['order'] 		= 'DESC';
 $args['meta_key'] 	= '_my_custom_field';

Is it possible to use a hook or filter to use my custom field as the default ordering though?

Thanks

Hi Janine,

The options in Customizer > WooCommerce are actually coming from WooCommerce plugin itself.

The theme itself does not control the sorting options at all so this is something you will need to check with WooCommerce' support team

Thanks for your understanding.

Hi Leo,

Thanks for explaining. I got this working via the woocommerce code sample in the link below in case it helps others:

Hi thanks. Removing the snippets just replaces the tabs at the bottom (Description / Additional Information) which I'm trying to remove. I'm trying to keep the text of Description without the tab.

The layout I'm trying to get:

[ IMAGE ] [ DESCRIPTION ]
then at the bottom:
[ PRICE ] [ ADD TO CART ]

If that helps?
