WooCommerce

Currently, the sequence of displaying products in the catalog is regulated only by sorting, which is an imperfect solution, since products can have different availability and types, therefore have different importance.

It is advisable to display products according to the priority set in the admin within the sorting selected by the user.

In practice, this should work like this:
1. First, a list of products is formed depending on the stock status (selected sequence; for example, out of stock is always at the end). It works constantly, regardless of sorting.
2. Then the sorting selected by the user on the catalog page is applied
However, if priorities are set in the admin for product types for a certain sorting method, then first the products are sorted by type, and then according to the sorting method (for example, partner products should be after their own or vice versa).

The following settings are required in the admin:
Order of displaying products in the catalog depending on the stock status (with the ability to change the sequence):
– In stock
– Out of stock
– On order

Order of displaying products in the catalog depending on the type (with the ability to change the sequence and select the types of sorting for which it is applied):
– Regular product
– Downloadable product
– Virtual product
– Grouped product
– External/Partner product
– Variant product
