Woocommere orderby price loop issue

2 Views

I am trying to get a simple shortcode to loop products based on price (descending). For some reason the below code doesn’t order it by price, it just ignores the order attribute. Code is below: 

function sort_by_price( $atts ){

    $args = array(
        'post_type' => 'product',
        'posts_per_page' => 20,
        'orderby' => 'price',
        'order' => 'desc'
        );
    $loop = new WP_Query( $args );
    if ( $loop->have_posts() ) {
        while ( $loop->have_posts() ) : $loop->the_post();
            wc_get_template_part( 'content', 'product' );
        endwhile;
    } else {
        echo __( 'No products found' );
    }
    wp_reset_postdata();
}
add_shortcode( 'sorter', 'sort_by_price' );

Any help is appreciated!

  1. Price isn’t a recognized value for the WP_Query sortby parameter.

    Try the following args:

    $args = array(
        'post_type' => 'product',
        'posts_per_page' => 20,
        'meta_key' => '_price',
        'orderby' => 'meta_value_num',
        'order' => 'desc'
        );
