 * Hi 
   Users with a contributors level are unable to sort WooCommerce products, 
   however admins are able to do so. This should occur when clicking on the “Sorting”
   link seen in this image [https://ibb.co/sChcnqP](https://ibb.co/sChcnqP) , the
   drag and drop option should be available for contributors as well. Please let
   me know how to enable this?Thank you

 * Hi,
   The Sort link you highlighted is not our plugin feature, but something WooCommerce
   implemented.Instead try the ReOrder interface or the advanced plugin version,
   for more details see [Sort Products which belong to multiple categories](https://www.nsp-code.com/woocommerce-sort-products-which-belong-to-multiple-categories/)
 * Thanks

 * Hi
   Thanks so much for the quick response. That makes so much sense. Would I be
   able to use your sorting functionality along with the built in WooCommerce sorting
   functionality? Or would this cause issues with the ordering of products?Thank
   you

 * Hi,
   You can use both sorting if you want. Yet, our solution is much powerful 
   and allows sorting inside categories without losing the order for the others.
   Thanks

 * Thanks, I’ve used your plugin on other websites and it’s amazing. 
   So just to
   confirm, if I use your plugin will it affect the order of the products which 
   I’ve changed when using the WooCommerce functionality?Thanks again

 * Hi,
   The order will change, accordingly to the customization, through either WooCommerce
   sorting or our plugin.Thanks
