Config search order option on header search

Hello @javi_web,

There is no such option available by default. However, if you wish to change it to make it custom sorted, you can use the following code in your child-theme/functions.php. Please choose one of the following choices below.

1. To sort product results by price (cheapest first)

add_filter('etheme_ajax_search_products_query', function ($args){
    $args['meta_key'] = '_price';
    $args['orderby'] = 'meta_value_num';
    $args['order'] = 'ASC';
    return $args;
});

2. To sort product results by popularity (best sellers first)

add_filter( 'etheme_ajax_search_products_query', function ( $args ) {
	$args['meta_key'] = 'total_sales';
	$args['orderby']  = 'meta_value_num';
	$args['order']    = 'DESC';
	return $args;
} );

3. To sort by the “Menu order” value set on each product in WooCommerce -> Products

add_filter( 'etheme_ajax_search_products_query', function ( $args ) {
	$args['orderby'] = array(
		'menu_order' => 'ASC',
		'date'       => 'DESC',
	);
	return $args;
} );
