guys, I had this problem recently.

https://wordpress.org/support/topic/product-sorting-order-is-not-working-correct/

seems the Woo guys refused to answer and closed this thread. I don’t know why because many people are seeing this problem come back for many times already.

you choose “sort by latest” and nothing happens!

seems the sorting is working on the main Shop page and not product category archives, the sorting setting is simply ignored.

Customizer >> WooCommerce >> Product Catalog

change the default sorting there.

it doesn’t work. WooCommerce complete ignores it for Category archives. I tried multiple WP themes and all plugins deactivated

You might need to manually force this behavior using functions.php snippet

Why? Because WooCommerce, that’s why.

please try it:

Go to Woocommerce > Status > Tools and run the Regenerate Product lookup tables option.

I tried regenerate product lookup tables, it didn’t help me. In the OP thread wp.org link, those people also said the same things.

it works kids:
```
add_filter('woocommerce_get_catalog_ordering_args', 'custom_default_catalog_orderby');

function custom_default_catalog_orderby( $args ) {
if(!isset( $_GET['orderby'] ) ) {
$args['orderby'] = 'date';
$args['order'] = 'dsc';
return $args;
}
}
```
I shared the answer on StackOverflow
