WordPress Snippets

Code Snippet

If you use the Barn2 WooCommerce Product Table plugin, there may be a reason you want to disable the column sorting. For instance, it does not do a good job of sorting numbers or distances because it does so like this: 0, 1, 10, 11, 2, 3, 30, 5, …

PHP

Place the following code anywhere in your child theme’s functions.php document.

Please note that this will completely disable the ability to sort the table, and means the sort_by option can no longer be used.

// disable column sorting in the variation tables
add_filter( 'wc_product_table_data_config', function( $config ) {
    $config['ordering'] = false;
    return $config;
} );

Note

All modifications to a theme or plugin should be made by creating a child theme and placing the changes there. Changes made to the parent theme will be overwritten the next time it updates.
