Facets resets/removes Woocommerce default sorting orderby= query string

[ouch-digital]

Hey EP Team, firstly thank you for creating such an amazing plugin.

This is a little feature request to persist the orderby= query string when filtering facets in EP.

When sorting using Woocommerce orderby= (sort by price, relevance etc), when selecting a EP facet, the WC orderby query string is removed when the new page is loaded.

Describe the solution you'd like

It would be great if this persisted after refresh in the same way that the search s= query string is retained.

A possible solution might be to include the orderby= query into the new page refresh using $referer = wp_get_referer();

Thanks in advance and have a great day.

Hey @ouch-digital,

Thanks for the idea! We will add that in a future release. In the meantime, you can use the following snippet:

add_filter(
	'ep_facet_allowed_query_args',
	function ( $args ) {
		$args[] = 'orderby';
		return $args;
	}
);

I am marking this as a good first issue, as the solution in the plugin should be as simple as adding orderby to this array.

That's awesome. Have a great day. I will continue to let you know if I find any small ways I can contribute to the project.

Warm regards
