Hi. A Vendor was expressing the wish to re-order products. I love this idea as it allows choosing which are prioritized for customers to see first. Do you anticipate this capability in a future version?
In WooCommerce there exists a 'Menu order' number that can be made visible to vendors (our plugin normally removes it):
If you want, I can assist to make it visible on your site.
The challenge we have with it, and the reason why we normally hide it, is that this is a global number affecting all products. On the shop page, if there are products from different vendors, ordered by 'default sorting', there can be a competition between your vendors: whoever has the lowest menu order will show first. So vendors are incentivised to have their menu order set as low as possible to have their products first.
On the vendor's page it would work well, but the problem is on these shared pages where products from many vendors are shown.
I'm not sure how this can be solved, other than sorting in a different way on shop/archive pages.
