Sorting Categories

The Bulk Category Editor for WooCommerce allows you to easily reorder your categories and subcategories using drag-and-drop functionality.

How It Works

Sorting Categories

  • In the Categories tab, you can reorder parent categories by dragging and dropping them in the table.
  • Changes are saved automatically.

Sorting Subcategories

  • You can reorder subcategories within the same parent category by dragging and dropping them.
  • The sorting is saved automatically, and subcategories will be placed correctly under their parent category.
  • Note: You cannot change a subcategory’s parent by dragging and dropping.

Changing Parent Categories

  • To move a category to a different parent category, use the Set Parent Category dropdown (located in the left column of each row).
  • This function also supports bulk actions, allowing you to move multiple categories at once.
  • Note: The set parent category and its bulk function require you to save changes.

Refresh Behavior

  • After sorting, the category list refreshes for parent categories to reflect the updated order.
  • Subcategories remain correctly nested under their parent categories, even if the interface does not refresh immediately.

This feature helps you quickly organize your WooCommerce store’s category structure while maintaining flexibility for bulk updates.
