Hello,

Do you want to implement random sorting for the product on the shop page? There is no such option, all the available sorting options you can find in Appearance > Customizer > WooCommerce > Product catalog http://prntscr.com/rykad1

Yeah, I do. But based on woocommerce docs I can do it, the main problem is that how to implement it via theme?

Here is the link : https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/woocommerce-shortcodes/

Hello,
Please use this code in function.php and it’ll add Random selection for your theme.
```
add_filter( 'woocommerce_get_catalog_ordering_args', 'custom_woocommerce_get_catalog_ordering_args' );
 
function custom_woocommerce_get_catalog_ordering_args( $args ) {
$orderby_value = isset( $_GET['orderby'] ) ? woocommerce_clean( $_GET['orderby'] ) : apply_filters( 'woocommerce_default_catalog_orderby', get_option( 'woocommerce_default_catalog_orderby' ) );
 
if ( 'random_list' == $orderby_value ) {
$args['orderby'] = 'rand';
$args['order'] = '';
$args['meta_key'] = '';
}
return $args;
}
 
add_filter( 'woocommerce_default_catalog_orderby_options', 'custom_woocommerce_catalog_orderby' );
add_filter( 'woocommerce_catalog_orderby', 'custom_woocommerce_catalog_orderby' );
 
function custom_woocommerce_catalog_orderby( $sortby ) {
$sortby['random_list'] = 'Random';
return $sortby;
}
```
So, it’ll make one more great feature for great theme..
Tested, and it works like a charm.
