  Is there a way to have the categories automatically sort based on alphabetical order? I added 4 new categories, but they are not sorting even after refresh. Anything I am missing here?

  Hello @HUSSTLE,

  Please try using the following PHP snippet in your child theme’s functions.php file:

  add_filter('etheme_widget_product_categories_query', function($args) {
      $args['orderby']  = 'name';
      $args['order']    = 'ASC';
      return $args;
  }, 10, 1);

  If you still require our assistance, please provide temporary wp-admin access in the private content section.

  Best regards,
  Jack Richardson
