Can I sort products by their stock status using the orderby attribute

Sorting Products by Stock Status

To sort products by stock status, you can use the following shortcode:

[woocommerce_product_filter_products orderby="stock_status" order="asc"]

The key points are:

- Set `orderby="stock_status"` to sort by stock status
- Use `order="asc"` for ascending order (in stock first, out of stock last)
- Change to `order="desc"` for descending order (out of stock first, in stock last)

This will display products sorted by their stock status, with the `stock_status` meta field used for ordering.

Sorting by Stock Quantity

If you want to sort by actual stock quantity instead of just stock status, you can use:

[woocommerce_product_filter_products orderby="meta_value_num" meta_key="_stock" order="desc"]

- `orderby="meta_value_num"` sorts by the numeric stock quantity
- `meta_key="_stock"` specifies the stock quantity meta field
- `order="desc"` shows products with the highest stock quantity first

This will display products sorted by their actual stock amount in descending order.

So in summary, you can use the `orderby` attribute along with `order` and `meta_key` to flexibly sort products by stock status and quantity in WooCommerce. This allows you to prioritize available products and provide a better shopping experience for customers.
