Separate all products to their categories on Woocommerce shop page

1. The only way to do this would be to copy and edit the template files or to use hooks. My favorite way is to use hooks because it is way less intrusive for when they do a plugin update. First you want to make sure that you have your woocommerce settings set to display categories on your product pages. Then open your themes functions.php file and place this in it:

   function order_by_multiple() {
   if(function_exists('is_woocommerce')){
   if(is_woocommerce()||is_search()||is_product_category())    return ' tm.meta_value, post_title';
   }
   }
   function product_order_join($join){
   global $wpdb;
   if(function_exists('is_woocommerce')){
   if(is_woocommerce()||is_search()||is_product_category()){
   $join.= " JOIN " . $wpdb->term_relationships ." tr ON " . $wpdb->posts . ".id = tr.object_id JOIN " . $wpdb->term_taxonomy ." tt ON tt.term_taxonomy_id = tr.term_taxonomy_id AND tt.taxonomy =  'product_cat' JOIN " . $wpdb->terms ." t ON tt.term_id = t.term_id
    join " . $wpdb->woocommerce_termmeta ." tm on tm.woocommerce_term_id = t.term_id and tm.meta_key = 'order' ";}
    }
    return $join;
   
   }
   add_filter("posts_join","product_order_join");
   if(!is_admin())add_filter("posts_orderby", "order_by_multiple");
   

   Replace ‘product_cat’ with whatever the taxonomy/attribute is.
   For attributes, woocommerce ads a ‘pa_’ in front for the taxonomy name.
   So, for if the name of your attribut was genre, then you would replace product_cat with pa_genre.

   also, you can probably replace

   add_filter("posts_orderby", "order_by_multiple");
   

   with

   add_filter('woocommerce_get_catalog_ordering_args',"order_by_multiple");
   

   I just haven’t had the chance to test that yet.

   Lastly you could by pass almost all of that stuff and use the woocommerce short code of:

   [product_category category="category-slug-name-here" per_page="12" columns="4" orderby="date" order="desc"]

2. I just stuck this straight into my page and it worked fine –

   <?php echo do_shortcode( '[product_category category="category name"]'); ?>
