Lead with what sells, or with what's new

Lead with the products that already sell, or with what just came in, so returning shoppers see something new.

The problem

New shoppers decide quickly, so the products they see first should be the ones most likely to sell. Returning shoppers want to see what changed since their last visit. WooCommerce's default ordering does neither unless you set it up product by product.

Smart Sort orders a whole shop or category by sales or by date in one click, using WooCommerce's own sales data, and you can still adjust individual products afterwards.

How to do it

  1. Pick the page to sort

    Choose the main shop page or a single category in Rearrange Products.

  2. Apply a Smart Sort rule

    Choose "Best Selling" to order by sales from the WooCommerce lookup tables, or "Latest" to put new arrivals first.

  3. Fine-tune by hand

    Drag a product up or down if you want to feature something the numbers don't show yet, such as a new product you expect to do well.

  4. Save it as a preset

    Save the result so you can re-apply it after your next stock delivery or compare it with another order later.

Try "Best Selling" on the main shop and "Latest" on a New Arrivals category. Each category keeps its own order.
