 * I’m trying to set up shop pages on this website but I want the sorting options
   and products per page section to be at the top of the section near where the 
   view type options are?
 * I’ve tried playing about with css but nothing has worked, I’m not sure if it’s
   something in a stylesheet I need to change but I don’t want to do so unless I
   knew exactly what to do.
 * Thanks
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fmove-sorting-options%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)

 * I wouldn’t expect css to be able to do that so think you’ll need a bit of php.
   If you look at the theme’s archive-product.php template, use a remove_action()
   call to remove the sorting options from their current position, and an add_action()
   call to put it back in another. Suggest don’t be tempted to alter the template.
   wordpress.org forum members don’t have access to the code in commercial themes,
   so it won’t be possible to give you the exact code to use. Perhaps your theme
   vendor’s support service can give you the code to use or suggest a theme setting.
 * If there isn’t a theme setting, ask if they’ll put one in for the next theme 
   update, because the sorting options are not in a good place where they are in
   my view.
