How to edit the sort order in the search results of the Searched Products widget for Elementor

The theme version has no relation to the sorting of products in the search results generated by your widget for Elementor. I am working with the latest version on a local server. Once again, my question: how can I make out-of-stock products appear at the very bottom in the search results?

It seems strange to me to ask for snow in winter. After all, logically, from a marketing perspective, there’s no point in showing out-of-stock products at the beginning. But I’ll think about your suggestion to contact the development team with a proposal that “the credits should be at the end of the film, not in the middle.” Since you can’t help me, then please tell me which hooks for sorting this widget uses. I’ll write the sorting code for it myself. Thank you.

Here’s a working solution that solves my problem. Might be useful to someone.

add_filter( 'woocommerce_products_widget_query_args', 'custom_sort_products_widget_by_stock' );

function custom_sort_products_widget_by_stock( $query_args ) {
if ( isset( $query_args['s'] ) ) {
$meta_query = $query_args['meta_query'] ?? array();
$meta_query[] = array(
'relation' => 'OR',
array(
'key' => '_stock_status',
'value' => 'instock',
'compare' => '=',
),
array(
'key' => '_stock_status',
'value' => 'outofstock',
'compare' => '=',
),
);
$query_args['meta_query'] = $meta_query;
$query_args['meta_key'] = '_stock_status';
$query_args['orderby'] = 'meta_value ASC';
$query_args['order'] = 'ASC';
}
return $query_args;
}
