Query block: no “Featured” products filter or Price/Rating order options

Hi there,

The taxonomy you are referring to is set to hidden by Woocommerce, so GB can not pull it, unfortunately!

Order by does not support post meta out of box.

You will need to write custom PHP code to modify the query args.

Here’s an example, so add the class featured-products to the query block, if you want the products to order by regular price in asc order, add class featured-price-asc to the query block too.

Some other classes for the order:featured-price-desc, featured-sale-asc, featured-rating-desc, feel free to modify the code to add more order options.

add_filter( 'generateblocks_query_wp_query_args', function( $args, $attributes ) {
    // Only apply if the Query Loop has one of our trigger classes
    if ( empty( $attributes['className'] ) ) {
        return $args;
    }

    $classes = $attributes['className'];

    // Base: Show only featured products (add this for any featured variant)
    if ( strpos( $classes, 'featured-products' ) !== false ||
         strpos( $classes, 'featured-price-asc' ) !== false ||
         strpos( $classes, 'featured-price-desc' ) !== false ||
         strpos( $classes, 'featured-sale-asc' ) !== false ||
         strpos( $classes, 'featured-rating-desc' ) !== false ) {

        // Add tax_query for featured term
        $args['tax_query'][] = array(
            'taxonomy' => 'product_visibility',
            'field'    => 'name',     // or 'slug'
            'terms'    => 'featured',
            'operator' => 'IN',
        );
    }

    // Ordering examples - add more conditions based on classes
    if ( strpos( $classes, 'featured-price-asc' ) !== false ) {
        // Order by regular price ascending (lowest to highest)
        $args = array_merge( $args, array(
            'meta_key'     => '_regular_price',
            'orderby'      => 'meta_value_num',  // numeric sort
            'order'        => 'ASC',
            'meta_type'    => 'DECIMAL',         // optional but good for prices
        ) );
    }

    if ( strpos( $classes, 'featured-price-desc' ) !== false ) {
        // Order by regular price descending (highest to lowest)
        $args = array_merge( $args, array(
            'meta_key'     => '_regular_price',
            'orderby'      => 'meta_value_num',
            'order'        => 'DESC',
        ) );
    }

    if ( strpos( $classes, 'featured-sale-asc' ) !== false ) {
        // Order by sale price ascending (cheapest sale first)
        // Note: Only sale-enabled products have _sale_price; others fall back or sort oddly
        $args = array_merge( $args, array(
            'meta_key'     => '_sale_price',
            'orderby'      => 'meta_value_num',
            'order'        => 'ASC',
            'meta_type'    => 'DECIMAL',
        ) );
    }

    if ( strpos( $classes, 'featured-rating-desc' ) !== false ) {
        // Order by average rating descending (highest rated first)
        // WooCommerce stores average rating in _wc_average_rating meta
        $args = array_merge( $args, array(
            'meta_key'     => '_wc_average_rating',
            'orderby'      => 'meta_value_num',
            'order'        => 'DESC',
            'meta_type'    => 'DECIMAL',
        ) );
    }

    return $args;
}, 10, 2 );

These are WooCommerce blocks; feel free to use them instead of using GB’s query block.

You are welcome   🙂
