 * Hi Guys, thanks for helping.
    I have created some product attributes and specified
   the “Default Soft Order” to be “Custom Ordering” for each attribute I created…
   however, the “Size” attribute keeps reverting back to placing XXL in front of
   my specification. So, to be clear, I set the Variable Product and arrange the
   values as I need them to display on the frontend (S, M, L, XL, XXL) Save the 
   attributes and Save the page, check the front end and the attribute have reverted
   back to (XXL, S, M, L, XL)
 * How can I fix this?
 * Using WP 4.3 and Woocommerce 2.4.6

 * Don’t sort variable products. This has no baring on attribute order.
 * Products > Attributes, edit attribute, and sort there.
