We ended up hooking woocommerce_rest_product_cat_query and setting $prepared_args['menu_order'] = 1;, since you can not pass this parameter on the url.

From my point of view it’s a bug on wc_change_get_terms_defaults — I’d expect the default sort not to be by name if the categories were manually ordered on the backend.

Other than this we found 3.6.x to be a great improvement, especially in terms of speed over larger data sets. Great job 👍

Got you.

In our case we need the categories as were ordered via the back end so there is no specific field we can supply to the order_by. I believe we’d need the order from wp_termmeta. Can that be done via the url as well?

Thanks for the help 👍
Mickey.

I apologize for not being clear, the problem on both cases is the same and happens upon upgrading, hence my thought there may be a mutual cause. I’ll focus on my case.

Problem:

After ordering the categories on the back end, if you issue a categories request to the REST API, the categories are returned ordered alphabetically.

Way to reproduce:

1. Install a fresh WP using wp cli.
2. Install WC plugin using wp cli.
3. Define several categories on the backend and order them, not in an alphabetical order.
4. Issue a categories request to the REST API (e.g. https://domain.com/wp-json/wc/v2/products/categories?consumer_key=ck_123&consumer_secret=cs_123)
5. Problem: the categories are returned in an alphabetical ordered.

Environment:

$ vagrant --version
Vagrant 2.2.4
$ cat Vagrantfile  | grep config.vm.box
  config.vm.box = "johannesHome/bitnami-wordpress"

# inside vagrant guest os
$ uname -a
Linux pc-test 3.16.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.16.51-2 (2017-12-03) x86_64 GNU/Linux
$ wp core version
5.2
$ wp plugin status woocommerce
Plugin woocommerce details:
    Name: WooCommerce
    Status: Active
    Version: 3.6.3
    Author: Automattic
    Description: An eCommerce toolkit that helps you sell anything. Beautifully.

Thanks,
Mickey.
