Default sorting SKU changes frontpage widgets query

After setting the default sorting to SKU, the homepage widget “New in” sorts with this default also.

I need the default sorting for the catalogue to be according to SKU, while the “New in” should show new products.

How is this done?

Hi,

What is this “New in” widget you are referring to?

Sorry it’s not a widget. It’s part of Storefront’s homepage template. It’s the storefront_recent_products:
```
<?php
  /**
  * Functions hooked in to homepage action
  *
  * @hooked storefront_homepage_content      - 10
  * @hooked storefront_product_categories    - 20
  * @hooked storefront_recent_products       - 30
  * @hooked storefront_featured_products     - 40
  * @hooked storefront_popular_products      - 50
  * @hooked storefront_on_sale_products      - 60
  * @hooked storefront_best_selling_products - 70
  */
  do_action( 'homepage' ); 
?>
```

Hum, Ok I think I got it now.
Please add this to your functions.php
```
add_filter( 'woocommerce_default_catalog_orderby', function ( $default ) {
	if ( ! is_shop() ) {
		return $default;
	}
	return 'sku-asc';
} );
```
This will make the default sorting to SKU programmatically, but only on shop page.
Now you can set the default sorting to most recent.

Hi and thanks for the response,

this didn’t really solve the issue but worked as a workaround. By changing the above filter to this:
```
add_filter( 'woocommerce_default_catalog_orderby', function ( $default ) {
  if ( ! is_shop() ) {
    return 'date-asc';
  }
  return $default;
} );
```
