Hello,

In your file yourtheme/functions.php add these functions and make changes in query as you need

function next_post_link_product($format='%link &raquo;', $link='%title', $in_same_cat = false, $excluded_categories = '') {
adjacent_post_link_product($format, $link, $in_same_cat, $excluded_categories, false);
}

function previous_post_link_product($format='&laquo; %link', $link='%title', $in_same_cat = false, $excluded_categories = '') {
adjacent_post_link_product($format, $link, $in_same_cat, $excluded_categories, true);
}

function adjacent_post_link_product( $format, $link, $in_same_cat = false, $excluded_categories = '', $previous = true ) {
if ( $previous && is_attachment() )
$post = get_post( get_post()->post_parent );
else

if ( ! $post ) {
$output = '';
} else {
$title = $post->post_title;

if ( empty( $post->post_title ) )

$title = apply_filters( 'the_title', $title, $post->ID );
$date = mysql2date( get_option( 'date_format' ), $post->post_date );
$rel = $previous ? 'prev' : 'next';

$string = '<a href="' . get_permalink( $post ) . '" rel="'.$rel.'">';
$inlink = str_replace( '%title', $title, $link );
$inlink = str_replace( '%date', $date, $inlink );

Let me know if anything is not understood


konstantinos monios comments:

i put your code at the functions.php and again the ordering is not changing.i want to have custom ordering at my products like the sorting i made at my products page


Firoja_Imtosupport comments:

There's a new plugin "WooCommerce Product Sort and Display" that may help you place your products in the order you want them.

Here's the link http://wordpress.org/plugins/woocommerce-product-sort-and-display/

konstantinos monios comments:
