This is the same as Viktor & Bogdan’s answer, but without the extra Class code.
It uses the post_clause
filter to modify the product query. We JOIN
the wp_postmeta table to the query and prepend an orderby _stock_status
clause to the existing query. This way any other orderby
clauses remain in the query as well.
add_filter('posts_clauses', 'order_by_stock_status');
function order_by_stock_status($posts_clauses) {
global $wpdb;
// only change query on WooCommerce loops
if (is_woocommerce() && (is_shop() || is_product_category() || is_product_tag() || is_product_taxonomy())) {
$posts_clauses['join'] .= " INNER JOIN $wpdb->postmeta istockstatus ON ($wpdb->posts.ID = istockstatus.post_id) ";
$posts_clauses['orderby'] = " istockstatus.meta_value ASC, " . $posts_clauses['orderby'];
$posts_clauses['where'] = " AND istockstatus.meta_key = '_stock_status' AND istockstatus.meta_value <> '' " . $posts_clauses['where'];
}
return $posts_clauses;
}
You could change istockstatus.meta_value ASC
to istockstatus.meta_value DESC
if you for some reason wanted the Out Of Stock items first.
