 * Hello,
 * I think I have found a little bug, the plugin overwrites the shortcode. For example
   the shortcode from woocommerce [product_category category=”xx” per_page=”100″
   orderby=”menu_order” order=”asc”] not works.
 * If I deactivate the plugin the shortcode works.

 * Hey [@adminhonk](https://wordpress.org/support/users/adminhonk/), thanks for 
   submitting this 🙂
 * I’m afraid I can’t replicate the issue — for example, when I use the category
   shortcode on a page, all orderby options and sorting from the shortcode are respected
   with the plugin activated (as expected, as it should only affect shop pages).
   For example, here’s your menu_order example (I’ve output menu order so you can
   see it): [https://cldup.com/e6_AcMEeGU.png](https://cldup.com/e6_AcMEeGU.png)
 * Can you give me some additional information:
    – your WooCommerce version – your
   WordPress version – your WooCommerce theme name – where you are putting this 
   shortcode (on a page, in a blog post, etc) and if there’s anything else on the
   page
 * Thanks!

 * Hey [@beka](https://wordpress.org/support/users/beka/), thanks for your quick
   reply 🙂
 * In the woocommerce settings I have added a new standard method (Name: A to Z)
   with your plugin. I choose this method also as standard sorting method. On a 
   simple page I added only this shortcode: [product_category category=”xx” per_page
   =”100″ orderby=”menu_order” order=”asc”] and for some strange reason this “orderby”
   method don’t overwrite the standard sorting.
 * If I choose a other sorting method from woocommerce the shortcode works correct.
 * I use the WordPress version: 4.3, the WooCommerce version: 2.4.6 and a child 
   theme from the standard theme storefront.
 * I hope you can help me! Thank you!
 * Best regards

 * Hey [@adminhonk](https://wordpress.org/support/users/adminhonk/), thanks so much
   for the extra detail! That was what I needed to track this down, bit of a tricky
   bug 🙂 Please upgrade to v2.2.3 to solve.
