Change Product Category Order

To change product categories order you can:

Use a shortcode to show categories

You can use the [show_categories] shortcode instead an automatic listing with the order and orderby parameters.

Please see the show categories shortcode docs for details.

Add a code to your theme functions.php

You will need the access to the FTP to achieve this. The best way to do it is using the child theme.

Find your theme functions.php file and place the following code to modify the product category listing order:

add_filter('show_categories_args','my_show_categories_args');
/**
* Modifies default product category order
*
* @param array $args
* @return array
**/
function my_show_categories_args($args) {
$args['orderby'] = 'id';
$args['order'] = 'ASC';
return $args;
}

This code will set the category order by ID - asceding. For the possible order and orderby values please see the show categories shortcode docs.
