Is there a way to do the following:
1) Sort my Product Categories inside my widget alphabetically?
2) Change the names from being all Capitalized to just capitalizing the first letter of each product?
Thanks :)
Product Categories Not in alphabetical order

ModeratorHi pcprincess77,
1) Go to WooCommerce Products>Categories and you can drag and drop the categories into the order you would like. This was kept intentionally by WooCommerce so that it would be more flexible for everyone though it isn't super convenient if you have a lot of categories.
2) Where is it that you have all capital product names? I don't see any css that is auto transforming product names but if you can link us to an example we can inspect the code and identify it.

Devin

MemberI feared that would be the answer...as with all aspects of my project there are far too many product categories for me to manually drag and drop. Hundreds of categories
I created a widget for the Product Categories and set it to "drop down"
I'll send you over a screen shot from my laptop...my iPad doesn't seem to want to cooperate and let me paste the screenshot

MemberI just went to the widget and set it to sort by name and no change. Here is a small snippet from the source code of a handful of Product categories.

ModeratorHi pcprincess77,
Your only option may be to sort them by hand. I did some digging and it seems that the categories are really only capable of having their order changed via the drag and drop interface for some reason. There have been quite a few topics on it with woocommerce but it always comes back to them letting it stay drag and drop for the most flexibility.
Even with wordpress there are things that have to be done manually to get them correct.

Devin
