Plugins can create admin pages, add shortcodes, register custom post types, connect APIs, and build custom blocks.

WooCommerce includes a “Default sorting” dropdown on shop and category pages. The standard options are: Default sorting (custom ordering + name), Sort by popularity (sales), Sort by average rating, Sort by latest (newest first), Sort by price: low to high, and Sort by price: high to low. Store owners can also change the default order in Appearance settings, reorder products using menu order, or add/remove sorting choices with small code snippets or plugins. Sorting works with pagination and filters, helping shoppers quickly find items by relevance, freshness, or budget. For variable products, price sorting follows your catalog price display settings.

Also, if you disabled “WooCommerce Admin” features or use an older WooCommerce version, analytics can behave differently. Fix by updating WooCommerce, running analytics data regeneration, checking scheduled actions, clearing caches, ...Read more
