How to sort products by categories in WooCommerce?

Step 1: Open Product

Log in to your WordPress account and go to the dashboard. Then, open Products and select Category.

Step 2: Select a product category

In Categories, you will see a list of product categories in your store. Click on it. Scroll down to select the category you want to change and click on the product Count for the desired category.  

Step 3: Sort products

Select Sorting in the top bar (Red Box), and you can start rearranging the product order in your store. To do that, left-click on the item you want (see 4-way-pointer), drag it and drop it up or down to a suitable location.

Pro-Tips 1:

When dealing with a category with more than 20 products you can simplify the sorting process by increasing the number of products displayed.  To do this first select the "Screen Options" (upper right)

This will expand an options menu where you can increase the number of products (or pages) visible at one time.  Usually setting this between 50 to 100 is sufficient to make your task easier. 

When you are done you can return it to the default 20 or keep it higher!

Pro-Tips 2:

You can open two tabs simultaneously, which are your store and WordPress dashboard. Hence, you can see the changes in product orders after sorting them to get the best result.
