 * Hi, is it possible to set the order the list of ordered items on the invoice 
   and packing slip appear in. I have a specific field against my products that 
   I would like to order it by but I’m having trouble seeing where the order of 
   the list is set in the code. I think this might actually be a WooCommerce thing,
   as a I think the plugin is just getting the list from Woo, but if anyone can 
   point me in the right direction of how I might change this, that would be really
   helpful.
 * Thanks.
 * Andrew.

 * Hi [@aandrewdixon](https://wordpress.org/support/users/aandrewdixon/)
 * Here’s an example to sort them by custom field:
 *     ```wp-block-code
       add_filter( 'wpo_wcpdf_order_items_data', 'wpo_wcpdf_order_items_data_sort_by_custom_field', 10, 3 );function wpo_wcpdf_order_items_data_sort_by_custom_field( $items, $order, $document_type ){	uasort($items, function ($a, $b) {		$cf_name = 'crop'; // custom field name		$cf_a = $a['product']->get_meta($cf_name);		$cf_b = $b['product']->get_meta($cf_name);		return strnatcasecmp($cf_a, $cf_b);	});	return  $items;}
       ```
   
 * You can use the same hook to sort them however you prefer.
